After you file

If you are asking if you use the same W-2 as last year, the answer is NO. You should receive a new W-2 for 2023. This is the one you will enter on your 2023 tax return. If you did not get a new one, contact your employer to find the status of it.

If you made more than $13,850 for the year as a single person, you would need to file a return even if you only worked for a few months.

If they are not sending you one, then you can use your final pay stub to try to report your income and taxes withheld. You will do this by entering the information from your pay stub in the section for the W2. Then after you enter everything, the next screen will say, do any of these uncommon things apply to you? Check the box next to "Didn't get a W-2 (manually calculated my earnings) and then TurboTax will walk you through the steps of preparing a substitute W-2.
