You need to contact your employer to get another copy of the W-2

 

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

If the W-2 isn't available, here are the steps to take to get your W-2.

  1. You can try to import it into TurboTax.  (See the process below).
  2. Contact your employer  Contact your employer to see if the W-2 has been sent, and request a duplicate.
  3. Go online, many employers have an online service to provide documents like W-2.
  4. Contact the IRS:  If you can not get it from your employer, you can contact the IRS.
    1. You can call toll-free at 1-800-829-1040
    2. You can request a transcript
