Some integrated amps have a phono stage, others do not, even within the same brand/model. Many times it is an add-on; you may find the same amplifier, one with phono, one without.
It is not hard to add phono even if your amplifier does not have phono built in. You can buy an external phono stage preamp for as little as $30. (You can also spend thousands$).
Take a look at some inexpensive ones here that would be fine for a beginner audiophile quality turntable.
