Import employment information from Last year

A 2019 W-2 cannot be imported until late January 2020.

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for importing a W-2 - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-import-or-enter-my-w-2/01/26253

Yes you can if you log into the same online account.  It should transfer over but you  still have to enter the 2019 amounts off your W2.

But the W2s don't come out until January.   You need to wait for the actual W2. The W2 might not match your paystubs. There can be several pretax deductions that affect it.

 

And don't file early! Last year (for 2018) the IRS put out some late changes and some early filers got tax due notices after they got their refund. Also if you file in an early batch they get stuck in processing and might even take longer to get your refund.

 

And You should wait because you might get a late W2 or 1099 in the mail. They have until Jan 31 to send you the tax forms. Or they may send you a corrected W2 or 1099 even later.
