extension filed because State information for 2 employers never received.

My son filed for an extension in April because 2 of his 3 employers for 2024 haven't provided W2 info. IRS provided the missing info for his Fed return only. He doesn't have any Colorado state info for these 2 employers. State isn't responding to his requests for info.

Should he file for the Fed return only? Is that even possible since the Turbo Tax software won't let him go past those state information boxes? He expects a refund BTW

Any advice about what to do about the state return since the 2 companies won't respond to him?

Since you were able to get your total wage information from the IRS, if your son has his final pay check stub he can use the year to date state withholding information on the check stub to allow him to file the state return.

Also many states will auto correct the withholding amount if it was entered incorrectly.

He doesn't have a last paycheck from these companies as they were provided online only and his sign in doesn't work anymore. They won't respond to help him sign in. Slightly 'fly by night' companies!

He doesn't have the state tax ID number for them, his state withholding, etc. Nothing. We're stuck.

Should we try to file the Federal Return? We have all of that except that the Turbo Tax software wants the state info.

I found another way you may be able to obtain a copy of the w-2 filed which should include the state information.

From Topic no. 159, How to get a wage and income transcript or copy of Form W-2:

The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides to the Number Holder (NH) or legal representative(s) at no charge, a microprint copy of Form W-2. You can use this to help resolve an SSA program-related matter, such as an earnings discrepancy in connection with the processing of a Title II and/or Title XVI claim or an SSA or NH initiated earnings investigation. But there is a fee per request if you need them for an unrelated reason. Visit SSA.gov or call 800-772-1213 for instructions on how to obtain wage information from the SSA.
