The IRS does not have your W-2, nor do they have your employer ID. And...even if you find that number, it is too late to import a 2023 W-2. You need information from the actual W-2 in order to import the rest of the data.
TurboTax does not have your W-2. W-2’s come from employers. There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.
Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

If you cannot contact the employer-----
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.
