No, TurboTax does not and cannot obtain your W-2 for you.
Your employer has until 02/01/2021 to provide the 2020 W-2.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for importing a W-2 - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-import-or-enter-my-w-2/01/26253
(You will need a copy of the W-2 in hand before the W-2 can be imported)
No. Maybe you are just in too much of a hurry. Employers have until February 1 to issue W-2's. Have patience until your employer issues it.
WHEN your W-2 is available:
Every 2019 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2020 tax return, even if they are for small amounts. Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer. You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.
ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return. After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.
W-2's come from your employer, and they have until February 1 to issue it. Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

Correct....the W-2 forms really won't be available for import until late in January....Employers have until 1 Feb to supply them on paper (or as a PDF download).
.....but importing the specially-formatted data may be available a week earlier...or week later, no way to tell. But that's ONLY if your employer works with a W-2 provider that creates a TTX-importable file. IF not, then you will need to enter that data yourself after you get your actual W-2. No, you cannot use a pay stub instead...
Cut and paste typo ... Every 2019 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2020 tax return,
@Critter-3 I fixed it! Thanks
