Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I need my W2 from 2021 but cannot find anything on Turbotax regarding last year's documents other than the completed return. It is an emergency.

I e-filed last year, and recently moved. My records have not been uncovered since moving, and I am trying to secure financing for a house. Any help would be very much appreciated.

TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2. It has a worksheet containing the information that you entered from your W-2, but not the actual W-2. (Even if you entered your W-2 by taking a picture of it, TurboTax does not retain the picture.) Mortgage lenders will usually accept an IRS transcript. A Wage and Income Transcript from the IRS will list the information from your W-2. Go to the following link on the IRS web site to get a transcript. You want a Wage and Income Transcript, not a Tax Return Transcript.
