What should I do if my past job hasn’t sent me the documents to file for my taxes

How can I get my necessary documents to file for my 2025 taxs

Employers have until 01/31/2026 to furnish a W-2 or a Form 1099-NEC.

You may be able to import your W-2 if your payroll provider is a TurboTax Import Partner. You will need your year- to-date gross income from your last paycheck stub and your employer's EIN to import your W-2.  Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I import or enter my W-2?

If that doesn't work and you don't receive your W-2 by January 31,2026, here are some other options:

• Contact your payroll department to request a duplicate W-2. 
• Contact the IRS for help at 1-800-829-1040. The IRS can help you with trying to obtain your W-2, or
• File a Form 4852 as a substitute W-2 Form along with your tax return, but you will have to mail your tax return.

For more information, refer to the TurboTax Help article What To Do If You Haven't Received a W-2 and How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 485
