Turbo Tax doesn't keep a copy. Ask your employer for another copy. Do you want a copy of your tax return?

You have to choose to save your "Tax Return, and all calculation worksheets" (as a PDF) in order for your W-2 to be saved in the file.

Even then, as @VolvoGirl indicated, it is not an exact copy of your W-2 (but it does have all of the information you entered from your W-2 into the program).

Unless you specifically uploaded the W-2 form to the DOCS section for safe keeping it will not be in there. Even if you uploaded the information into the system the actual form is not saved ... only the information is saved in the PDF worksheets.

What is My Docs?

My Docs (formerly TurboTax Vault) shows you any tax return you’ve filed in TurboTax Online, past or present, and lets you securely upload and keep all your tax-related documents in one place so you can easily access them when it comes time to do your taxes – or any time you want.

You can store up to 100 MB of scanned receipts, payment confirmations, documentation – whatever you would otherwise keep in a shoebox or filing cabinet. You can even upload your TurboTax PDF and data file backups, as long as each individual upload doesn't exceed 5 MB.

I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2 (or 1099)

TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s). You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $90).

To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-answers/irs-procedures/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2

If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual 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.

Or you can pay the IRS $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

TurboTax does not retain a copy of your W-2.

Contact your employer to request a copy.

IRS Topic No. 159 explains how to get a wage and income transcript.

It also explains how to pay a $30 fee to receive a copy of your W-2 from the IRS.
