After you file
Your best bet is to ask your employer or payroll department for another copy of your W-2.
Here are some more options:
- Order a copy from the Social Security Administration. It's free if you need it for Social Security-related reasons; otherwise, it's $86 per request.
- Order a full copy of your return from the IRS for $50, which will also include your W-2.
- Wage and income transcripts are available from the IRS free of charge.
- They're not exact copies, but they contain everything on your W-2 except the state and local information.

You can file your 2019 return Online, you cannot file a prior year return with the Online version. You would need the Desktop software for the prior year returns. Prior year returns cannot be e-filed with TurboTax.
For tax years 2018, 2017, or 2016
You'll need to purchase and download the TurboTax software for PC or Mac as TurboTax Online and the mobile app are only available for the current tax year.
After installing the software, open it and follow the onscreen instructions.
Prior year returns must be paper-filed, as e-filing is no longer available. We'll walk you through that process when you get to the File section in the software.
