How to get my spouse and my wages from a return? the w2 is not thee in the pdf file downloaded

If you filed a joint return then your individual wages are not on the Form 1040, since it is all combined on the tax form. You should always save your own W-2's for your records.  If you did not do that, then you can look at the worksheets that are part of the pdf that you saved with your tax file.  The current problem with that is, the system is now in transition from 2018 to 2019, and you cannot get to all of those worksheets right now.  You can only get to the forms and schedules needed to file by mail.  It will be about a month or so until you can get to all of the worksheets. 

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.

For any tax year you should always save the W-2 you received and put them in a file where they can be easily accessed at any time.  A W-2 is required for a multitude of reasons after the tax return has been filed so should always be saved.

The PDF download for 2018 will only include those forms and schedules needed to file a tax return, not any of the worksheets.  The W-2 worksheets and other worksheets will be included with the 2018 PDF later in December after the 2019 TurboTax online editions become available.

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501
