We suggest you contact your employer (s) first for copies of your prior W2's. If you are unable to obtain the W2's from your employer (s) you can obtain a copy of the W2's from the Social Security Administration, but there is a fee. 

For Information regarding obtaining W2 (s) from the Social Security Administration please click this link: https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501.

Once you have secured your W2, please see this TurboTax FAQ for information on how to file a prior year's tax return:

The best way to get those W-2 's would be to contact the employers you worked for and ask for copies.

There are some other ways--not as easy  ---

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.

You can get W-2 's from Social Security---for a fee of $86 each

You cannot use the past year W-2's on a 2019 tax return.  Only 2019 income can be entered on a 2019 return.

If you are able to get your old W-2's:

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2016, 2017, or 2018 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline.  If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.
