Question

I don't have my paper W-2 handy, but my employer is partnered with TurboTax and offers W-2 import. Is there a way to import my W-2 without having my paper W-2?

TurboTax does not have your W-2., nor does TurboTax get that information and enter it without any effort from you. Whether you key it in, snap a photo of it,  or import it, YOU have to enter it on your own tax return.  Your W-2 comes from your employer.  Employers have until January 31 to issue your W-2.  Some employers are partnered with TT to allow you to import your W-2 in to your tax return.  You do need some information from the actual W-2 in order to do the import.  If your employer has not yet issued W-2’s you have to wait.  Do not file a tax return unless ALL of your W-2’s have been entered on the SAME tax return.

You will need the paper W-2.   Importing needs to verify that you have the W-2. It asks for information that will only be on your W-2.
