I've filed my taxes on Turbo tax for years and I need my 2020 W2's to close on a house. I uploaded them here and would like to know if that are still here somewhere.

TurboTax does not have your W-2.

You should have your W-2's Your employer was required by law to get them to you no later then Jan 31, 2021. You are required to keep them for at least 3 years in case the IRS asks for them.

The PDF printout of your tax return contains the W-2 worksheets that contain the information that you entered, but not the actual W-2. You can download the PDF and all worksheets.


If you need a copy of your W-2 then ask your employer.

You can get a free "Wage and Income" transcript from the IRS but that is is not a copy of the W-2 and contains no state information.

You can get an exact copy of the W-2 from the Social Security Administration for $90 per copy.
