- If your W-2 went missing because of a mail snafu, you can use TurboTax to retrieve a copy.
- As long as your employer issued one, TurboTax can import it.
Next, Can I do my taxes without my W-2? If you cannot get a copy of your W-2 or 1099, you can still file taxes by filling out Form 4852, “Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement.” This form requests information about your wages and taxes that were withheld. It may be helpful to have documentation, such as a final pay stub, available to complete it.
How can I get my W-2 without contacting my employer?
If you can’t get in touch with your employer to get a W-2, you can reach out to your local IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC). The IRS will use your name, Social Security number, estimate of wages and estimate of federal income tax withheld to try to help you.
in the same way, What happens if I lost my W-2? The IRS will try to contact the employer by mail to request a W-2 on your behalf. You can contact an IRS agent by calling in at 800-829-1040 or schedule an appointment through the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center.
