Can I file my tax without my W-2 from my last employer? I dont think I can get my w-2 in time because the company I worked for filed bankruptcy

I don't think it would be wise.

If you do, you will have to amend your return when you get the W-2.

Confirm that your employer is sending the W-2.

If you request an extension, and get the W-2 you can still file right away.

Then file an extension

If you really need more time, you can file for an extension.

This will give you until 15 October 2024 to file your taxes.

Although this increases the filing deadline, it does not extend the payment deadline.

If you owe taxes, you must pay by April 15th.

1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
2. Select Tax Tools
3. On the drop-down select Tools
4. There will be 4 green boxes
5. Select Tax Topics
6. Type Extension
7. You can then start the extension process

Also, you may have to do your state taxes: Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?  

Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it does NOT extend the time to pay your taxes.

 If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment to avoid additional interest and penalties.
