I have a paycheck from last year we’re my taxes we’re not deducted. I have all my other W2 forms except from that one specific employer. Is it okay if I can still file?

I asked my old boss does that mean I have I owe the IRS money for this tax season and she said yes without giving me further information and wouldn’t speak to me again. What should I do?

Every 2022 W-2 that you have must be entered on your 2022 tax return, regardless of whether the employer withheld federal tax. The employer reported your income to the IRS, and the income you enter must match the income that was reported to the IRS.

Your question is kind of confusing. Do you mean that employer only gave you a paycheck but is not going to issue a W-2? Do you have a pay stub? Was any tax withheld? Did she pay you as an independent contractor instead of as an employee?

Give us some details.

I have a pay stub but it only shows the invoice date, invoice number, my gross amount which was $342.21 and the net amount as the same. On the back of the pay stub, it’s printed line to line “not negotiable”. The woman I spoke with on the phone told me I would receive a W2 form when I asked about it last year as well. I have all my other W2 forms from my previous employers except this one specifically and I don’t want to file everything just yet.

@marcopolo2722 Employers have until January 31 to issue W-2's and that is still a couple of days from now. Try calling them tomorrow and make sure they have the right address to send your W-2.

No, you should not file until you have the W-2. It it's still January, so sit tight. Employers have until January 31 to mail out W-2s, which means your W-2 should arrive any day now. For additional information on what to do if you don't receive your W-2, click on the following TurboTax help article: What if it's February but I still don't have my W-2?
