I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

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 $86).

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 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.

TurboTax doesn't have a copy of your W-2s.  You enter the information from your W-2s, and that is all that is maintained in the TurboTax records.  

 

There are several ways to get copies of your 2018 W-2s.  I'm linking below a TurboTax FAQ that will tell you the different options.  The easiest way may be to request a copy from each of your 2018 employers.

if you have to file state only the Social Security Adm has copies which they can send you for a fee.  contact them for how to get them because it can not be done through their website,
