At this point, you do not need to do anything. You will receive a letter from the IRS requesting the information.

Don't try to send them in on your own. You have to do this the IRS's way. Otherwise, your W-2's will never match with your return. Which could cause delays.

Expect to receive the letter from the IRS in about 3 weeks, give or take a few days
