Only your employer can answer that.

W-2's come from employers.   Employers have until the end of January to issue your W-2.   

 

There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.   If your employer is partnered with TurboTax to allow the W-2 data to be imported into the software you can do that---but you need the actual W-2 so that you can enter the EIN and the amount from box 1 to import the other data from the W-2---which just saves you the little bit of keying in of the other information.

 

 

Do not try to prepare a tax return without ALL of your income documents; you must include every 2023 W-2 on the same tax return.  Employers have until the end of January to issue W-2’s.   Wait until you have all of your W-2’s.  Clients, schools, Social Security, banks and other financial institutions may not have tax documents available until late January/early February.  ALL of your tax documents must be entered on the same Form 1040; do not file unless you have entered everything.
