Hello,
For the 3 months I had worked for him, the employer didn't withhold taxes. After I quit, he said he handled it but I never have any proof to know if he actually did withhold taxes for me. Worst thing is that I can't reach him now and neither I think will I.
With the tax season coming, I will need a W-2 which isn't expected to be sent to me ever. I looked into form 4852 for substitution but I can't really understand what to be done in a proper way.
For the last year, me and my wife filed a joint tax return and we got back over 1,000$ and things are same as last year financially. We're going to file it jointly for this year too. With this background,
1. If I am going to do something for substituting a W-2 such as filing the form 4852, does it matter whether he has withheld my taxes or not?
2. Can I go ahead and take the actions in January when I am so sure that I would not get my W-2?
Thank you so much!
