The W-2 for tax year 2024 can only be provided by your employer.  Contact your employer and have the W-2 sent to your correct address.

Turbo Tax does not have a copy of your W-2, but your employer may provide it.

 

If the W-2 is not available, here are the steps to take to get your W-2.

  1. You can try to import it on TurboTax.  (See the process below).
  2. Contact your employer  Contact your employer to see if the W-2 has ben sent, and request a duplicate.
  3. Go online, many employers have an online service to provide document like W-2's.
  4. Contact the IRS:  If you could not get it from your employer you can contact the IRS.
    1. You can call toll-free at 1-800-829-1040
    2. You can request a transcript
