Do they have any online records of your pay history?  Other than that you can look at your last paystub of the year and it will show you your gross earnings, federal and state tax withholdings, Medicare, etc.  I hope this helps.  You may have to answer a question that you do not have a W-2 form in Turbotax.  This is the form that you attached to your federal and state form when mailing and if you e-file you will not need the paper copy.
