TurboTax does not have your W-2. W-2’s come from employers. There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s. If your employer is partnered with TurboTax to allow the 2024 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.
ALL of your 2024 W-2’s must be entered on the SAME 2024 tax return. 2023 W-2's go on a 2023 tax return. So you have two tax returns to prepare.
Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, text, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

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.

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

And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2! TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU. TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo or imported it. It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.
Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.
After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.
