Only you would have the W2. Or get another copy from your employer. Any of 4 copies you get from your employer will be ok to use for the original.

you can also get a copy from the Social Security Administration . It costs like $81. you can get a transcript of it from the IRS for free but it doesn't include all the info on your actual W-2.

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 $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. It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.
