If your employer uses a company that is an import partner with TurboTax then you can try to import your W-2. If not you will need to get another copy from your employer. to get another copy to file your tax return or try to enter your W-2 as a substitute W-2. Please view the TurboTax FAQ below for instructions on how to import your W-2.

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 $86).

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.

How can I get a copy of my W-2?

Although you may have previously filed with us, we didn't save a copy of your W-2. If you used our mobile app to snap a picture of your W-2, it's not saved on your device.

Your best bet is to ask your employer or payroll department for another copy of your W-2.

Here are some more options:

Order a copy from the Social Security Administration. It's free if you need it for Social Security-related reasons; otherwise, it's $86 per request.
Order a full copy of your return from the IRS for $50, which will also include your W-2.
Wage and income transcripts are available from the IRS free of charge.
They're not exact copies, but they contain everything on your W-2 except the state and local information.

If you haven't received your W-2 yet, contact your employer. If your employer will not provide it, IRS.gov has remedies:

Call the IRS

Taxpayers who are unable to get a copy from their employer by the end of February may call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 for a substitute W-2. The IRS will send a letter to the employer on taxpayers’ behalf. When they call, taxpayers need their:

Name, address, Social Security number and phone number.
Employer’s name, address and phone number.
Employment dates.
Estimate of wages and federal income tax withheld. Use a final pay stub for these amounts.

Please contact your employer to try to get a copy of your W-2.

See also this TurboTax Help explaining how to contact the IRS if you have not received your W-2 by February 15.

If you cannot get a copy of your W-2, then you may be able to file your return using a “substitute W-2” but you will not be able to electronically file your return. To do this, you would need have your final pay stub from December and file using the numbers on that final pay stub. See here.
