    TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099.
    It would have a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement that included the tax data from the forms that were entered.
    The forms 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 User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

    Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents. 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 $30 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

    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 $62).

    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 $30 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s
