I need a copy of my 2022 and 2021 w-2. Does turbo tax have a copy of those or am I just out of luck. If so where do I go to retrieve them?

TurboTax only has W-2 worksheets that are based on your entries.  They would be included in the PDF of the tax return for that year.

if you need better, you can contact the employers to send you duplicates (not all will do this)

or

you can get an IRS transcript by first creating an account if you haven't already 

https://sa.www4.irs.gov/secureaccess/ui/?TYPE=33554433&REALMOID=06-00008e4d-63f6-1187-a229-7c2b0ad00000&GUID=&SMAUTHREASON=0&METHOD=GET&SMAGENTNAME=-SM-u0ktItgVFneUJDzkQ7tjvLYXyclDooCJJ7%2bjXGjg3YC5id2x9riHE98hoVgd1BBv&TARGET=-SM-https%3a%2f%2fsa%2ewww4%2eirs%2egov%2ficce--core%2fload%2fgettrans%2fpages%2favailableTranscripts%2exhtml 

then go to the w-2 transcript link

or

for $126, maybe $0 if you qualify, you can request copies from the Social Security adm

I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

 

 

 W-2's come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.  

 

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 $126).

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
