If your employer is partnered with TurboTax to allow the W-2 data to be imported into the software you can do that---but you need the actual W-2 so that you can enter the EIN and the amount from box 1 to import the other data from the W-2---which just saves you the little bit of keying in of the other information.

Yes, in many cases your W-2 form can be imported directly into TurboTax. Even if you can't do that for some reason, there are other options.

 

When you start in the income section, you will see a list of companies that partner with TurboTax to make importing your income easier. If you don't see your employer there, scroll down to the bottom and select Enter a different way. 

The next screen will show you additional options like importing a PDF or taking a photo. If none of those work for you, select Type it in myself at the bottom, and enter your information manually.
