Is it possible to get a W-2 from 2020 imported? I've tried to contact my old employer multiple times now and haven't gotten anywhere with them. I need to get that..

I won't qualify for the stimulus check without getting that W-2 filed, My login info for the company never worked properly and it never got corrected. I moved before W-2s were sent out and notified them about it but I still haven't gotten anywhere with getting my W-2 for 2019 and 2020. I don't want to pay $62 per form plus filing when I doubt I'll even get that much back. it was like 4 month's of work end of 2019, and 4 months of 2020 before covid got really bad. is there any options available in order for me to get those W-2s? thanks

No, you will not be able to import a 2020 W-2 into tax software.  Further....it is too late to file a 2020 tax return to receive a refund or stimulus money.   That has been forfeited as of the deadline on May 17, 2024.   You cannot get refunds for any tax year earlier than 2021 at this time.    Sorry.
