Can I use my last pay stub

Level 15

Your pay stub will not match your W-2.

 

W-2's come from your employer, and they have until Jan. 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it.  So waiting for your employer might be your only choice now.  You might need to phone, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

@Brenda Sloan7 We can't guarantee your taxes will be accurate if you try to file without your W-2. There's important info on your W-2 that may not be on your final pay stub.

 

Please click Can I use my last pay stub if I don't have my W-2 yet? to learn more.

You would need to obtain your W-2 from your employer via online or have a copy mailed to you. Make sure your employer has the correct  address to send your W-2 to you and you can always call them or email them about your need. If you need help finding your W-2, please see the following TurboTax FAQ:

W-2's come from your employer.

You might need to phone, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

 

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2561916-how-can-i-get-a-copy-of-my-w-2

 

You can pay Social Security $86 for a copy.

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.

@Stomper6890 Your best bet is to get them from the employer---ask for copies.

You might need to phone, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

@Ricardoquintero

Every 2019 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2019 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.

ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.  After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.

 

 

W-2's come from your employer, and they have until Jan. 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it.  You might need to phone, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.
