Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you will file tax year 2020 returns using the W2 you have for 2020.  You will use the 2021 W2 to file next year's taxes.  The W2s are issued to the IRS with a copy to you from the employer. 

 

The IRS will be reconciling the employer reported information with your tax return information so they need to match.
