Im having major issues getting my 2022 w2 every time I go to download documents it gives me my entire return I’ve been going in circles since yesterday

TurboTax doesn’t have your W-2. The program just uses the data from it.

You should have your own copy.  Turbo Tax doesn't have copies of your W2.  Only the info you entered from it or imported.  It would have W-2 worksheets that included the tax data from the forms that were entered.  The worksheets would be included in the PDF of the tax return.

See,  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/forms/help/how-can-i-get-a-copy-of-my-w-2/00/26328

You can download the pdf file with all the worksheets and see a summary of what you entered.

If you need a copy of the actual W2 you have to ask your employer for another copy or get a W2 copy from SSA for $126.

I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

 W-2's come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.  

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 $126).

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 $30 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

some employers have a site where you can download the w-2. however, that is usually only for the current year 2023.
