Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you electronically filed your tax returns, the IRS does not have a copy of your W-2.  If you cannot locate your copy of  a W-2, they can only only be obtained from the individual employer.

 

There is no fee to use the IRS Get Transcript tool to request your wage and income transcript.  The transcript would tell you each employer who issued a W-2 with your Social Security number.  You may be able to request your wage and income transcript online or by mail.

 

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration
