Can I find my w2 online

I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s).   You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $86).

If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual W-2.

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

TurboTax does not have a copy of W-2's or other documents.  Please contact your employer to receive a copy of your W-2.

You may try to download the W-2 from your employer but you generally have to have information on the W-2 form to complete the download.  See here.

Make sure that you retain a paper copy of your tax return, W-2s and all attached documents for your records.

As stated on the back of the W-2 -
Keep Copy C of Form W-2 for at least 3 years after the due date for filing your income tax return. However, to help protect your social security benefits, keep Copy C until you begin receiving social security benefits, just in case there is a question about your work record and/or earnings in a particular year.

TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099. It would have W-2 and Form 1099 worksheets that included the tax data from the forms that were entered. The worksheets 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 cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

You can get a free Wage and Income transcript from the IRS - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

Cant find w2

[MayaD]

If you can't find your W-2, contact your employer and ask them to the send another copy.

Employers must file Form W-2 and other wage statements by February 1, 2021 so you might receive your W-2 very soon.

If you don't receive you W-2, you can get a wage transcript from the IRS.

Iam missing 2 W2 from 2 different employer's

[xmasbaby0]

Contact the employers.

Every 2020 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.  

Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.

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.

And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2!  TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU.  TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo.  It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.

TurboTax does not have access to your W-2s.  

The IRS offers the following advice if you haven't received your W-2s:  [IRS Topic 154 - Form W-2  and Form 1099-R (What to Do if Incorrect or Not Received)]

1.  Contact your employer/payer.

2.  If you still haven't received the missing or corrected form by the end of February, you may call the IRS at 800-829-1040.  (See Telephone and Local Assistance for hours of operation).Have the following information handy:

• Your name, address (including ZIP code), phone number, taxpayer identification number, and dates of employment,
• Your employer/payer's name, address (including ZIP code), and phone number,
• If known, your employer/payer's identification number.

3.  The IRS will contact the employer/payer for you and request the missing or corrected form.The IRS will also send you a Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc. (PDF), along with a letter containing instructions for you.

If you don't receive the missing or corrected form in sufficient time to file your tax return, you may use Form 4852 to complete your return. You'll estimate your wages or payments made to you and taxes withheld on Form 4852.  Please see this article:  How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?
