Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello xxtexasxxsweethe, Employers are required to send W-2s to employees by January 31. Your W-2 form reports your year's wages and the taxes withheld, and is also sent to the IRS. Your last paystub is NOT the same thing as your W-2. More info What if my employer did not give me a W-2? The IRS suggests allowing up to two weeks for mailed forms to reach you, so you may not receive your form until February 14th. While you are waiting, you can... Ask your employer if and when the form was mailed. Check to make sure your employer has your correct mailing address. Verify the spelling and street abbreviation to make sure that your W-2 wasn't misdelivered. Request another copy. Ask your employer if you have the option to import your W-2 information. If they have made imports available, they will give you the information required to import your W-2.   TurboTax will guide you through importing.  Once you receive your W-2, always make sure that everything on your W-2 matches what you imported into TurboTax.  If your employer sends a W-2C after you import your W-2, make sure you change the imported W-2 information to the "corrected information" column on your W-2C. You can change the information directly in TurboTax.   If it's past February 14 and you still don't have your W-2: 1. Call the IRS for assistance at 800-829-1040. When calling, be ready to give the following information:  Your name, address and Social Security number. Your employer's name, address, city, state, zip code and telephone number, even if your employer has gone out of business. Dates of employment. An estimate of the wages you earned and the federal income tax withheld. Your estimate should be based on your final pay stub of the year or earnings statement, if available.     The IRS will call the employer and advise them to send you your W-2s. 2. Request or download Form 4506-T. You will receive W-2 transcripts which will have information reported by your employer to the IRS free of charge. Call (800)829-1040 to obtain the form. 3. Request Form 4852 from the IRS or download it and mail it in.  Form 4852 is a substitute W-2. You are allowed to estimate your wages based on your final paystub. TurboTax can guide you through filling out Form 4852. If you do file your taxes using Form 4852, you will have to amend your return once you receive your W-2 or W-2C if amounts on the forms are different from the filed Form 4852.   You can find more information here: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901028-missing-your-w-2-form-corrected-w-2s-and-multiple-w-2s">ht...>   I hope this helps - Jesse M
