I need to get a copy of my 2019 W2 but my previous employer won't return my calls. He filed with TurboTax that year and he filed my W2. How do I get a copy?

I didn't have a TurboTax account of my own in 2019. He filed it for me and I have no way of knowing a user name or anything he used.

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.

 

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

 

You can get a free Wage and Income transcript from the IRS - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

 

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return to include copies of W-2's, if you mailed the tax return and included a paper W-2, from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

TurboTax does not have your W-2.   Only the employer who issued it has access to the account he used to create it.   No one else can get to it for you.

 

What are you trying to do?   Did you file a tax return for 2019?   If so, you can get a copy of the return and a copy of the W-2 from the IRS--for a fee.

 

 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $43, an actual copy of your tax return that will include the W-2.
