After I filed my 2019 taxes, I misplaced my W2 and can't find it. Can I get a copy from the one I filed in TurboTax?

Not A Product Question

TurboTax does not have your W-2.

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.
