Is there a way i can view my submitted documents from previous years, specifically my w2?

I need my 2020 W2 because i was never informed I had to separately file my local income taxes and I lost my paper copy.

The easiest way is to ask your employer for another copy. You can also ask Social Secuirty, but there is a fee. If you just need to visually see the information, you can look at the return you printed or kept on your computer. TurboTax provides worksheets with that information.

 

TurboTax does not have a copy of your physical W-2 (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099's).

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

As for your local tax return:

 

 

TurboTax only prepares a few city or local tax returns as an extra step in your state return.  For most local tax returns you are on your own.  Your only record of paying your local tax will be your own bank/credit card records

You had better check to see what's up with your 2021 local tax as well, and going forward, for 2022 -- be aware of the requirements you must meet to file a local return.
