Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you don’t get your W-2 from your employer by February 14th, you should contact them and tell them you need it for your taxes (assuming you can). If you still don’t get your W-2, go ahead and contact the IRS to tell them your employer didn't send it. You may call the IRS toll free at 800-829-1040
- The IRS will send your employer a letter requesting that they furnish you a corrected Form W-2 within ten days. The letter advises your employer of their responsibilities to provide a correct Form W-2 and of the penalties for failure to do so.
- The IRS will send you a letter with instructions and Form 4852 (.pdf), Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099-R, Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc. You can use the Form 4852 in the event that your employer does not provide you with Form W-2 in time to file your tax return.
If you’ve attempted to obtain your W-2 and are unsuccessful, you can file using a substitute Form W-2, Form 4852.
