Missing W-2

volorgas01867 — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 16:54:10 GMT

My company closed last year, filing for Chapter 7. I did not receive a W-2 from them for last year's income. Can I use Turbo tax to file my 2019 return and can I simply use the gross income from my last pay stub, in lieu of an actual W-2? Or do I have to seek a W-2 from the IRS?

You can file your return using Form 4852 and a substitute W-2. However, you will not be able to file your return electronically, it will have to be mailed for processing.

See the following TurboTax article for instructions: How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?

What qualifies as a substitute W-2?

You need to prepare a Form 4852. See How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852? - Community
