You can file a conventional paper return that includes IRS Form 4852 if all efforts to obtain a W-2 from your employer have failed. Here's how to fill one out:
- In your TurboTax program. Go to federal>wages and income>Job (W-2)>start
- Fill out your W-2 as best you can using the information from your last pay stub.
- When finished, proceed through the interview. Eventually you'll get to the Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2? screen.
- Check the Substitute form box near the bottom.
- Check any other box(es) that apply to your W-2 before selecting Continue.
- Eventually you'll come to a screen which will ask if you want to complete Form 4852 for wages paid. Answer Yes and carefully follow the onscreen instructions.
Try to get as much information you can from the last pay stub you received that have year-end totals from your W2. It is important also to have a nine-digit EIN number. you also may try ordering a transcript from the IRS if they have your 2019 W2 information. Here is a link to order one.
