Does anyone else filed 2021 tax return documents missing w2/wages information?

Do you mean your 1040 line 1 Wages is blank or zero? The amount isn't there? Turbo Tax doesn't have a copy of your W2. Only the info you entered from it or imported. You need to keep your own W2 in your records.

@VolvoGirl pardon, I wrote my initial problem down correctly.

“I need help locating the papers/documents that I filed for my wage earnings (employment data), that provides documentation for the wages I am claiming (entered when filing; which amount/currency currently shows on 1040 line item 1.” Thus to recap I see the amount in wages, salaries,tips, etc. that I entered when filing; but, when printing out 2021 tax documents there isn’t any paperwork that backups/supports my entered wages.

Right. You need your actual W2 copy. Turbo Tax doesn't keep a copy of your W2. Your backup is the W2. If you don't have it you need to get another copy from your employer. If you print your whole return with all the worksheets there might be a worksheet for the W2 but it won't be a real backup to support or prove it. You need to have the actual W2.
