    TurboTax does not have copies of your W-2s. Contact your employer.

    Your other options are a W-2 transcript from the IRS (no state info) or a copy from the Social Security Admin

    TurboTax does not have your W-2.   W-2’s come from employers. 

     

     If your employer is partnered with TurboTax to allow the W-2 data to be imported into the software you can do that---but you need the actual W-2 so that you can enter the EIN and the amount from box 1 to import the other data from the W-2---which just saves you the little bit of keying in of the other information.

     

    Every 2024 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2024 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income or have your refund delayed by having missing income.

     

    ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.  

     

    Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.

    After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.

     

     

    W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. 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.
