I suggest that you file an extension.  It's best to have the actual W-2 before you file.  If you get the corrected W-2 you can ignore the extension and file your taxes.

 

This will extend the time you have to file your taxes until October 15th, 2026.  

  1. On the left rail menu in TurboTax Online Select Tax Tools  (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.)
  2. On the drop-down select Tools 
  3. On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select File an extension
  4. Follow the instructions to start the extension process 

Also, you may have to file your state taxes:

 Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?  

 

Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it doesn't extend the time to pay your taxes.  If you know you will have to pay taxes, you should pay them by the original due date of the tax return. This will avoid extra interest and penalties.
