As stated on the back of the W-2 -
Keep Copy C of Form W-2 for at least 3 years after the due date for filing your income tax return. However, to help protect your social security benefits, keep Copy C until you begin receiving social security benefits, just in case there is a question about your work record and/or earnings in a particular year.
TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099.
It would have a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement that included the tax data from the forms that were entered.
The forms would be included in the PDF of the tax return in the tax year the return was completed.
Copies of a Form 1099 would have to obtained from the issuer of the form.

How is a copy of your W-2 for 2018 going to help you get your refund? Did you file a tax return for 2018, or are you saying that you want to file it now?
If you filed a tax return for 2018 and did not receive the refund, you have to contact the IRS (call 800-829-1040). TurboTax has no information about your refund, and cannot help you get it.
If you did not file a tax return for 2018, it's too late to get a refund now. You had to file your 2018 tax return by April 15, 2022 in order to get a refund.
