I'm trying to import my W2 but it's not offering that

Employer's have to put the W-2s online for importing and they have not yet done so ... 2016 hasn't even ended yet for pity sake so you will need to wait until sometime in January. 


Here is some reading while you wait .... 

No returns will be accepted by TT  for efiling before 1/6/17 (or later) and the IRS will not start processing returns until 1/23/17  so come back in Jan to complete the return but don’t be in a rush. If you do efile before the IRS starts to officially process returns on the 23rd your return will sit in a holding pool from which you cannot get your return back to change anything for any reason. It will be stuck there until the IRS either accepts or rejects the return. If the IRS accepts the return you will need to amend it which can take 16+ weeks to process.

The program should list the forms that are not yet ready and give you the chance to sign up for an email alert when they are ready. Here is the availability charts to watch :

It is way too early to import the 2016 W-2s  and way too late to import the 2015 W-2s.
