W-2's come from your employer, and they have until Jan. 31 to issue it. Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. You might need to phone, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS: It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received. It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.
How may I get a copy of my W2s if I cant remember each employer. I was doing Temp agency work so it makes it difficult to rember who to ask. Is there one place where I might find the information I need to file. I'm falling behind and can't afford to pay late fees due to homelessness and trying to hold a job to take care of myself. I'm already behind with 2018 taxes
