I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

 

 

 W-2's come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.  

 

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).   Whether you entered your W-2 by keying it in yourself, importing from a payroll site or by snapping a photo using the mobile app—-TT does not have a copy of your W-2.  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 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 $62).

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.

Or you can pay the IRS $30 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

If you no longer have your login, the best way to obtain your last year's W-2 would be to contact your employer.  TurboTax also doesn't store your imported W-2, just the information obtained from it.  

 

Many companies have online portals where you can log in for payroll information, including tax forms like Form W-2; you can contact your company's payroll department to help you log in.  If that is unsuccessful, you can request they mail a paper copy to your address.  The IRS will also assist you in getting a copy of a W-2.  You can contact the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center here: Taxpayer Assistance Center Office Locator
