The extension gives her until October 15 to file --- if she is getting a refund you have three years to file and still receive the refund, but e-filing will close after 10-15.

That gives your spouse time to seek the W-2 from the employer.

W-2’s come from employers. There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.

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.

Other ways to get W-2’s:

Pay Social Security $126 per 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.

And just asking…..are you filing a Joint return or Married filing Separate? For a Joint return the extension would be for both of you. If you are filing separate returns, why? Joint should be better.
