I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2

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.

TTax DOES NOT have copies of your W-2 forms.  TTax only stores the information that you enter from your W-2 forms.

The data is stored in the TTax data file (.tax20yy file) in a proprietary format that can only be read by the TTax program.

You will need to contact your employer(s) for copies, or you can get a copy from Soc Sec Admin (for $86).
