Yes, you can try obtaining a copy from the IRS even though you have not yet filed your tax return. Use the link below to start the process. You may have to wait, but can file an extension if it's not yet available. Transcript or Copy of W-2 How do I file an IRS tax extension? If you do have your last pay stub from your employer you can create a substitute W-2 and mail your tax return. How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852? @dmajorhoffman88 

Property tax is entered under Deductions & Credits Your Home Property Taxes   In this section please enter the taxes paid on your main home and also all other property tax paid on additional homes as one additional entry.   (Add the taxes paid on homes other than your personal residence)   

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. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   Pay Social Security $62 per tax year for your W-2’s.:   https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/Topic/article/KA-02501         The form 4852 is a last resort. This is what the form says:  If you don’t receive the missing or corrected form from your employer or payer by the end of February, you may call the IRS at 800-829-1040 for assistance. You must provide your name, address (including ZIP code), phone number, social security number, and dates of employment. You must also provide your employer’s or payer’s name, address (including ZIP code), and phone number. The IRS will contact your employer or payer and request the missing form.   Because of this, you cannot e-file a return with a 4852, it must be mailed in. I hope you can make the employer realize they really do want to make time now.    

@simonll75    Beyond that...no one can hazard a guess....since you didn't indicate WHICH State you are asking about.    Each state has entirely separate rules, and someone with that state's software might know what's going on, once they see which state you are talking about.

To transfer a 2023 file into 2024 Desktop (Windows) program, follow these steps:   On your PC, find last year's tax file and copy it to a removable device like a thumb drive or flash drive. On your Mac, copy the tax file from the device to your desktop. Open TurboTax for Mac and choose File New Tax Return. Select Begin. TurboTax will search for 2022 tax return files on your computer and should find it. If it doesn't, select Find your tax return. Wait for TurboTax to finish transferring the information over. For a MAC or a PDF download see How do I transfer last year's return

  TurboTax does not have your W-2.   W-2’s come from employers.  ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.     Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2. After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.     W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 to issue it.  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.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/get-copy-w-2/L8FTim9MO_US_en_US?uid=m68ee4os   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/import-enter-w-2/L55HzdeDr_US_en_US?uid=m68efe36   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 or imported it.  It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.            https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/income/help/what-if-it-s-february-but-i-still-don-t-have-my-w-2/00/25998  

This needs to be redesigned, horrible user experience if someone needs to check back for the exact date that was chosen previously.  Would like to see this information on the Tax Home summary and/or included in the generated pdf when you click the 'Download return' button.
