After you file

Do not try to use a pay stub.  Wait for your W-2.  Employers have until January 31 to issue W-2's.  Pay stubs do not match the W-2 you will get.

 

 

W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.
