@Curlysueeeee Your W-2 comes from your employer. Employers issue W-2 by the end of January. If you did not receive it or have lost it since they gave it to you months ago then ask the employer for another copy.
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.
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.

And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2! TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU. TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo. It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.
Other ways to get W-2’s:
Pay Social Security $90 per 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.
