W2's are required to be mailed my January 31, 2020

 

Some employers release W2's prior to this through different means, but again, they have until January 31st to do this.  Keep checking the website to see if your employer has released their W'2.

If your employer participates in that, then you should be able to download your W-2. If not, you will need to enter in your W-2 manually to the system.

If you are unable to import, then you will need to enter the W2 information manually.  You may have gotten a paper copy in the mail or you could contact your employer to get a paper or email copy.

You need to get a copy of your W2 from your employer to properly file your tax returns.  Another option is to get a wage and income transcript from the IRS.  Here is a link for the IRS transcript request. The transcript from the IRS will not, however, include any state information.

If you didn't receive your W-2 :

  1. Contact your employer and ask him to send you a copy of your W-2 .
  2. If you can't reach your employer, call the IRS for assistance at 800-829-1040. The IRS will call the employer or payroll provider and advise them to send you your W-2s.
  3. Request or download Form 4506-T. You will receive W-2 transcripts which will have information reported by your employer to the IRS free of charge.

It sounds like you’re asking about importing your Form W-2 information.

If that’s the case, please see the TurboTax Help article How do I import or enter my W-2? for guidance.

As stated on the back of the W-2 -
Keep Copy C of Form W-2 for at least 3 years after the due date for filing your income tax return. However, to help protect your social security benefits, keep Copy C until you begin receiving social security benefits, just in case there is a question about your work record and/or earnings in a particular year.

 

TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099. It would have W-2 and Form 1099 worksheets that included the tax data from the forms that were entered. The worksheets would be included in the PDF of the tax return in the tax year the return was completed.

Copies of a Form 1099 would have to obtained from the issuer of the form.

 

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

You can get a free Wage and Income transcript from the IRS - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $50 you can get a complete federal tax return to include copies of W-2's, if you mailed the tax return and included a paper W-2, from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
