Question

When does an employer need to send a W2?

I received $480 from an employer in 2015 but did not receive a W2. Do I need to report this income?

Employers are required to send the W2s no later than January 31st. You are required to report all earnings on your tax return whether or not you received a document from them.

If you have your pay stubs you can report it by using a Substitute W2, Form 4852. However your return would have to mailed to the IRS because it cannot be efiled.

The payer ID is important, try contacting the employer for the number, if you are unable to obtain, file without it before the due date.
