W-2's are not part of you tax return, only the information from the W-2 that you enter goes on the tax return, not the W-2 itself. You have the only copy that you should retain for your records.

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.

TurboTax does not save a copy of your W-2. Please see the below FAQ for information on how to obtain a copy:

For tax year 2019 there is NO requirement to purchase any 2019 online edition, nor is there a requirement that you must file a 2019 tax return using the online editions before you can access to a prior year online return.

You only need to register the 2019 online account to access the prior year online tax returns.

***IMPORTANT INFO***

If you are NOT going to be using Turbotax for 2019 taxes OR you do not wish to PAY the 2019 Turbotax fees at this time… then you MUST CHOOSE THE FREE version BEFORE you log in and stay in the free version.

Start on this screen : https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/

Then follow the instructions in this link:

TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 even if you imported it. It would only have a Wage and Tax Statement worksheet that includes the information from the imported or keyed in W-2 and emulates a W-2.

The worksheet would be included in the PDF of the tax return if you downloaded the PDF to include All forms and worksheets in the tax year the return was completed. The Worksheet has all the information from your W-2 but it is not an exact copy of the W-2.

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee of $37 you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=3836

You can get a free Wage and Income transcript from the IRS by completing a Form 4506-T - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506t.pdf however it will not have the State information on it.

See this IRS website for transcripts - http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

For a fee of $50 you can get a complete federal tax return to include copies of W-2's from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

Turbo Tax doesn't have copies of W2 or 1099 forms.

If you need a copy of the actual W2 you have to ask your employer for another copy or get a W2 copy from SSA

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 $90).

https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-answers/irs-procedures/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2

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.

Or you can pay the IRS $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s
