After you file
If you’re unable to get your Form W-2 from your employer, contact the Internal Revenue Service at 800-TAX-1040.
- The IRS will contact your employer or payer and request the missing form.
- Let them know: •
- your name, address, Social Security number and phone number; •
- your employer’s name, address and phone number; •
- the dates you worked for the employer; and •
- an estimate of your wages and federal income tax withheld in 2022.
- You can use your final pay stub to figure these amounts.
If, after contacting the IRS, you still do not have your Form W-2, you have two choices:
- File your return by the April due date and use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. Try to estimate your wages and withholding as best you can.
- Ask for more time to file by using Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S Individual Income Tax Return. You can even e-file the request.
