I can't find anywhere to use my w2 import code. I've always used it before, but this year I can't find anywhere to type it in to import my information.
W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 to issue it. Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

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.
Other ways to get W-2’s:

To import the W-2 you must have the W-2 issued to you by your employer. The Control Number on the W-2 is required to import along with the Gross Income in box 1 and the Employer EIN.
