Does TurboTax store digital copies of old W-2s? I'm hoping to find an old W-2 from 2026.

No. And what do you mean 2026? A year in the future?

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

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

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 $126).

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

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

And.....if you meant 2016---2016 is pretty "iffy"----TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years and then they are gone.
