Question

Can you please help me find a way to obtain my w-2:s from the last 10 years. I haven't filed taxes in the last 10 years with the exception of 2019.

What if I do not file my tax return?

TurboTax cannot obtain your W-2's for you.   W-2's come from your employers. 

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.

Other ways to get W-2’s:

 

Pay Social Security $90 per 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.

If you have neglected to file tax returns for ten years you should seek local paid tax help to sort it all out.  Software is not available here for that far back, and refunds for any years earlier than 2017 have been forfeited.   If you owe tax for any of those years the IRS still wants to be paid---so use a tax pro who can negotiate with the IRS for you.
