TurboTax does not save the photo of your W-2 after the information has been entered in your tax return. There is no way to "pull" the photo from TurboTax because the photo isn't there.
In the "Instructions for Employee" on the back of your W-2 it says the following.
Note: 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.
The best way to get a duplicate copy of your W-2 is to ask your employer for another copy. If you can't get it from the employer, and you need an actual copy of the W-2, not just the information, you can get a copy of your W-2 from the Social Security Administration. There is a fee of $126. See the following link.
How can I get a copy of my wage and tax statements (Form W-2)?
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). 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 $126).

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.

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