    What do you want to do?  Your employers provide you with a W-2 and then you enter the tax data into the TurboTax program.  Or are you referring to something else?

    I don't have the W2 as it is for an old return. I need the info for a background check.

    TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099.  It would have W-2 and Form 1099 worksheets that included the tax data from the forms that were entered.  The worksheets would be included in the PDF of the tax return if you downloaded the PDF to include All forms and worksheets in the tax year the return was completed.
