You should first contact the employer that you worked for to request a copy of your W-2.

If you cannot get a copy of your W-2 for whatever reason, there are a few options you have:

You can get a transcript of from the IRS at the page, Get Your Tax Record.
You can get a copy of your W-2 from the Social Security Administration - How can I get a copy of my wage and tax statements (Form W-2)?
You can use your paystubs and complete a substitute W-2 in TurboTax. Please note, if you use this option, you will have to paper file your return. To complete a substitute W-2 in TurboTax, please follow the instructions on the page, How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?

W-2’s come from employers. There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.

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.
