If you don't get a W-2 by end of February
If you contacted your employer and still don't have your W-2, call us at 800-829-1040.Have your information ready so we can help you:
- Name, address and phone number
- Social Security or individual tax ID number
- Dates when you worked for the employer

We'll contact your employer and request the missing W-2.
We'll also send you a copy of Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. You can use this to file your tax return without your W-2.
