TurboTax does not have your W-2's nor does TT have a way to find out who your employers were.   Perhaps you can look back through your old bank records to see who issued paychecks to you.   Or seek a work history from Social Security.

 

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS that will show income reported to the IRS by various employers, etc. but that will not show any state tax withholding information if you need to prepare state returns.

 Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. 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.

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.
