For the daughter with no copy of the W-2, she can file a return without it but would need to use the Substitute W-2 process, which would require filing by mail. Fill out the W-2 in TurboTax using the information from her last pay stub or other information. Continue the W-2 interview until you see uncommon situations and select "didn't get W-2".
She should try contacting the employer for a copy of the W-2. See this article for more information.
