As for the W-2s& 1099s and any other tax reporting form you may have entered or imported ... if you don't have a copy then you can ask the sender for another copy.
TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 even if you imported it. It would only have a Wage and Tax Statement worksheet that includes the information from the imported or keyed in W-2 and emulates a W-2. The worksheet would be included in the PDF of the tax return if you downloaded the PDF to include All forms and worksheets in the tax year the return was completed. The Worksheet has all the information from your W-2 but it is not an exact copy of the W-2.
If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee of $37 you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=3836
