TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099.
It would have a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement that included the tax data from the forms that were entered.
The forms would be included in the PDF of the tax return in the tax year the return was completed.
Copies of a Form 1099 would have to obtained from the issuer of the form.

If you imported your W-2 into TurboTax, TurboTax does not get an image of the W-2 form. It just gets the information from the W-2, and enters that information in your tax return.
If you uploaded your W-2 from your computer, or you entered your W-2 by taking a picture of it with your phone, TurboTax does not retain the picture of your W-2 after the information is entered into your tax return, and the picture is not saved on your phone.
According to the instructions for the employee on the back of your W-2, you are supposed to save your W-2 for at least 3 years after you file your tax return.
