Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You may still receive a Form W-2 from them, legally they are still required to send one.

In the event you don't receive one, you can file a substitute W-2 using your last pay stub.  This is reported on Form 4852.


The IRS requests that you wait until February 14 to prepare this form and file a substitute W-2.  You also are supposed to attempt to make an effort to get the form.  If the company is out of business, you can indicate that.

When you enter this form in TurboTax, you would enter it as if it is a W-2.  You can contact us again when that time comes if you need assistance with using your pay stub to enter this information.

After you click Continue after entering the W-2 information, the program will ask Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2?  You would have to check the box for Substitute form, then click yes to prepare Form 4852.

TurboTax will walk you through any descriptions that need to be typed and advise you to send the form to the Social Security Administration.
