If you have other information to enter besides the W-2's, you can enter that information.  But you should

NOT

try and file the tax return without entering the W-2's.

Do you have your last Pay Stub?  you might be able to gather the detail that should be on your W-2,  Call your employer, W-2's should have been mailed by the 31st of January per IRS rules.  If filing electronically, you do not file with the W-2  the data is sent in a from inside Turbo Tax
