You would need to file a substitute W-2 Form 4852 with an explanation. 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 would need to indicate on your tax forms. When you enter this form in TurboTax, you would enter it as if it is a W-2.

Here are the steps in TurboTax online:

Sign in to your TurboTax account and select Pick up where you left off
At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "w2" and Enter
Select Jump to w2
Follow prompts
On-screen Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2?, select Substitute form
Follow prompts
