If you need to retrieve your W-2 form for 2021 without an EIN number, here are some steps you can follow:

  • Reach out to your employer directly and request a copy of your W-2. They should be able to provide it to you
  • You can request a wage and income transcript from the IRS, which includes the federal tax information your employer reported to the Social Security Administration. 
  • If you can't get your W-2 from your employer, you can use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, to estimate your wages and taxes withheld. Attach this form to your tax
