- Contact the IRS If you do not receive your W-2 by February 14th, contact the IRS for assistance at 800-829-1040. When you call, you must provide your name, address, city and state, including zip code, Social Security number, phone number and have the following information:
- Employer’s name, address, city and state, including zip code and phone number
- Dates of employment
- An estimate of the wages you earned, the federal income tax withheld, and when you worked for that employer during 2019 The estimate should be based on year-to-date information from your final pay stub or leave-and-earnings statement, if possible.
In the event you don't receive one, you can file a substitute W-2 using your last pay stub. This is reported on Form 4852. TurboTax will walk you through any descriptions that need to be typed and advise you to send the form to the Social Security Administration.
Options:
- Order a copy from the Social Security Administration. It's free if you need it for Social Security-related reasons; otherwise, it's $86 per request.
- Order a full copy of your return from the IRS for $50, which will also include your W-2.
- Wage and income transcripts are available from the IRS free of charge.
- They're not exact copies, but they contain everything on your W-2 except the state and local information.
