Why didn't it ask me to input my w-2?

Since it shows here you are using TurboTax Federal Free Online Edition, it should walk you through each step. For example, after you follow the get started directions and finish entering all of your Personal Information, and hit Continue. After this is the Federal section where you will be prompted to start by entering your income, such as your W-2(s). If you need to go back and add your W-2, and you haven't filed, please follow the instructions below.

If you have filed, I have included amending instructions.
