Hello, I do not have my w2's and need to file my taxes for the past three years. Can I file with Turbo Tax for three years worth of taxes with my wage transcript only? I got them from the IRS.gov. website.

Transcripts do not contain any state tax information.

TurboTax online and e-file for 2018 ended on Oct 15, 2019. 2018 (and earlier tax years) can now only be completed using the CD/download software installed on a Mac or Windows computer. The return must be printed, signed and mailed.

2016-2018 software can be purchased here:

Okay, if I want to go ahead and just file for 2019 online with Turbo Tax, how do I get the state tax information without a w2?

You need the W-2. Why don't you have it? Your employer was required by law to get it to you no later than Jan 31, 2020.

If you need a copy of your W-2 then ask your employer.

You can get an exact copy of the W-2 from the Social Security Administration for $81 per copy.
