Question

Can TurboTax import your W2 without your consent? My W2 information was imported and I didn't authorize it.

I have used TurboTax for 10 years and always enter my annual information manually. This year, everything was already there. I don't mean my name and such, I mean my income and deductions.

Are you saying the W-2 import screen (shown below) was already populated with the Control Number and Wages?

TurboTax asked me if I wanted to work on my W2 which is from the same company as last year. I checked yes and when that screen opened, all of my information (wages, withheld taxes, etc) was already populated. I would assume it to have my name, address, employer's info etc. but not the data that varies year to year. And I checked it against my actual W2 and all of the data was correct. And as I stated, I wasn't asked if I wanted to import it.
