W-2's come from employers.    You need to contact the old employers---call, email, snail mail, text, or drop in to request copies of your W-2's.

 

TurboTax cannot get your W-2's for you.   And it is too late to import a 2023 W-2 from a pay roll site.

There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.

 

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.

 

 

Pay Social Security $62 per tax year for your W-2’s.:

If you mean that you filed a 2023 tax return using TT and want copies of your W-2's:

 

 

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 $62).

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.

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