After you file

Here are some options: 

  1. Yes, you could file without your W-2 but this will cause delays in processing.
  2. You could file an extension while you try and get a copy of the missing W-2.

Please see What if it's February but I still don't have my W-2?

Use the TurboTax Easy Extension. It's the fast, easy, and secure way to e-file your federal tax extension.

 

Note: Filing an extension doesn't give you additional time to pay owed taxes, which are due May 17, 2021 (it's the same date for taxpayers out of the country). If you can't pay owed tax by the deadline, always file an extension so you can avoid the late-filing penalty, which is up to 10 times higher than the late-payment penalty.
