Online W-2 Finder

[DoninGA]

You will not find your W-2 online.  Your employer will provide the W-2 to you no later than February 1, 2021

[Critter-3]

Your employer has until 2/1/21  to either mail you a paper W-2  or  make one available online.  They need to provide online access instructions if that it their choice.  When they will be available for importing (if they are an import partner) is a question only they can answer.  

Requirements to successfully import your W-2 directly from your employer

• Your payroll provider needs to be a TurboTax Import Partner (we determine this by your employer's EIN)
• Your W-2 must be available for import – most are ready by February 1, and some are disabled after the April filing deadline
• We'll need the Box 1 amount from your W-2
• You can also use the YTD (Year to Date) gross income from your year-end paystub. More info
• In some cases, we'll need the Box d Control Number from your W-2, but only if your payroll provider requires this for the import (not all of them do).

If you're unable to import directly from your employer, you'll have a chance to snap a picture of your W-2 using your smart phone camera.

Let's import your W-2!

1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax if you don't already have it open.
2. Inside TurboTax, search for W-2 (upper- or lower case, with or without the dash) and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
3. A  W-2 screen will open. On this screen you can add, edit or delete as necessary.
4. Enter the 9-digit Employer ID Number from your W-2, click Continue, and follow the onscreen instructions to import your W-2.
5. If you're unable to import directly from your employer, you will then get an option to snap a picture of your W-2.

If you don't have your employer's EIN or would prefer to skip the import options, you can open a screen to manually enter the info from your W-2 instead.

A W-2 can only be provided by your employer.  You need to contact the employer.

Your 2025 W-2 will be issued by your employer by the end of January 2026.   If you are asking for a copy of a W-2 that you used when you prepared your 2024 return, TT cannot send it to you.

 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).   Whether you entered your W-2 by keying it in yourself, importing from a payroll site or by snapping a photo using the mobile app—-TT does not have a copy of your W-2.  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.

 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).

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.

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