You need more than the EIN to import a W-2. You need the amount from box 1.
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.
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.
And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2!TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU.TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo or imported it.It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the 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.
