3. Go online, many employers have an online service to provide document like W-2's.
4. Contact the IRS:  If you could not get it from your employer you can contact the IRS.
   1. You can call toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 or contact a Taxpayer Assistance Center Local IRS Office.
   2. You can request a transcript

@JohnB5677 

User says he "didn't receive his W-2 last year."   I'm not sure what that means by "last year".  I wonder if he may talking about a 2023 W-2 that he didn't receive a year ago in January of 2024, which would need to be on a 2023 return.

@jojocardoso023   You should clarify what tax year you are talking about.  Was the W-2 you didn't receive "last year" for 2023 income or 2024 income?
