Do you have online access to your payroll account?
- For example: if your payroll processor was ADP, you can access your W-2 online.
If all efforts to get your W-2 have been exhausted, you can create a substitute W-2. You won't be able to E-file it. You'll have to paper file and mail in your tax return.
- Open your return and search for W-2. Select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the W-2 entry screen.
- Fill out your W-2 as best you can using the information from your last pay stub.
- Answer any questions until you get to the Let's check for uncommon situations screen.
- Check the box next to Didn't get a W-2 and select Continue.
- On the Let's check if you need a substitute W-2 screen, select Yes then Continue.
- Answer the follow-up questions. Select Print to download and print your IRS Form 4852.
