Ask your employer for another copy if they still have them.  

Or get a W2 copy from SSA

@Bernardlively 

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.

 

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2018 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

 

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

TurboTax (TT) does not have your W-2 (in either the on-line or desk top versions). However, it does have a "facsimile", if you typed in (or imported) your W-2 when you prepared your return. If all you need is the information from your W-2, you can get that from the facsimile (W-2 worksheet), found in the list of forms. Every bit of information on your actual W-2 will be on the TT worksheet. Whether whomever you need to show your W-2 to will accept the worksheet instead; you'll have to ask them. Your employer is the best source of an actual copy of your W-2. For more options, see:

IRS instructions http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc159.html

Social Security Administration Instructions questionID=3836&hitOffset=258+164+163+75+26+25+15+14&docID=2040

You can get a Wage and Income transcript, from the IRS for free. Like the  TurboTax worksheet, it will have all the info that W-2 has, but is not an actual copy. But, unlike the TT worksheet, the transcript is an official IRS document.  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-return-transcript-types-and-ways-to-order-them

Employers issue W-2's by the end of January.  You get it from your employer.  TurboTax does not have your W-2.

Some employers will allow you  to import it into the software when they are available.

Ask your employer for copies of the W-2 if this is for a prior tax year.

For tax year 2019, employers have until January 31 to provide a 2019 W-2.
