Get your taxes done using TurboTax

All EINs are nine digits.  If your W-2 is incorrect you have an option to file by mail:

  1. Substitute W-2

TurboTax will help you fill out a substitute w-2.  You will need your last paystub and employer information.

How to fill out a substitute W-2 (Form 4852)

  1. Go through the W-2 entry section and enter the information from your last paystub.  
  2. On the follow-up pages look for the page titled "Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2?"  
  3. Select "Substitute form - I didn't get a W-2 from my employer and need to complete a substitute form."  
  4. This will take you through the steps to complete the Form 4852 so you can file your return.
  5. Continue to follow the screens and enter all requested information

Or contact your employer for the correct number.
