I need to get copies of my W-2's from my 2020 and 2021 tax returns. Since they were imported direct into Turbo tax I dont have hard copies. How can I find them?

I cant find the W-2's anywhere in the system.  Just the finalized copy of my tax return.

I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s).   You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $90).

If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual W-2.

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

Or you can pay the IRS $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

You need to lock this in your memory for the future.

...TTX can only import the data fields from the W-2 into the software's worksheets.  TTX doesn't have the actual original W-2. 

The only legal W-2 forms are the ones your employer created.   You need to either keep the originals that the Employer mailed to you on paper, or, some employers have a W-2 download website where you can get your original W-2 forms as PDF file downloads. Even if you get them as PDF files, always keep printed paper copies of these W-2 forms in a file folder for at least 7 years.
