You can retrieve your W-2 forms and 1099 forms into TurboTax both manually and via electronic import from over a million employers.
For you to import your W-2 directly from your employer into TurboTax, the following things are required:
- Your payroll provider needs to be a TurboTax Import Partner.
- Your W-2 must be available for import (most are ready by February 1).
- We need the Box 1 amount from your W-2 or the year-to-date (YTD) gross income from your year-end pay stub.
- In some cases, we may need the Box d Control Number from your W-2, but only if your payroll provider requires it.
In TurboTax Online, follow these steps:
- Sign in and continue your return.
- Select the magnifying glass, search for W-2 and select the Jump to link.
- Select Work on my W-2 and Continue.
- If you've already entered a W-2 or need to add another one, select Add another W-2.
- Enter your Employer Identification Number (EIN) from Box b on your W-2.
- If your W-2 can be imported, you'll come to the Great news! We can automatically import your W-2 info screen. Answer the questions to complete your import.
- If TurboTax doesn't recognize your EIN you can use the TurboTax mobile app to snap a photo of your W-2, upload it from your computer, or fill it in yourself.
