Your employer is required to send your forms to you by January 31st.  If they refuse to provide you a copy (because you moved or some other reason), you can see if they have it available to be imported.  Otherwise, you can obtain a Wage & Income transcript from the IRS.  I'll post instructions below for both options.

How do I import or enter my W-2?

You can obtain a Wage & Income Transcript from the IRS.  Here is the link https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   That transcript shows data from information returns reported to the IRS, such as W-2s, 1099s and 1098s.   It will provide the same information as was on your actual W-2 forms.   Here is the link for the various IRS Transcript Types.  Also, here is the link to IRS Form 4506-T
