Only your employer can issue your 2024 W-2.

 

Go to this IRS website if you do not receive your W-2 by the end of February - https://www.irs.gov/filing/if-you-dont-get-a-w-2-or-your-w-2-is-wrong#:~:text=If%20you%20contacted%2...

If the W-2 is not available, here are the steps to recover it.

 

Turbo Tax does not have a copy of your W-2, but it may be downloadable

  1. You can try to import it on TurboTax.  (See the process below).
  2. Contact your employer  Contact your employer to see if the W-2 has ben sent, and request a duplicate.
  3. Go online, many employers have an online service to provide document like W-2's.
  4. Contact the IRS:  If you could not get it from your employer you can contact the IRS.
    1. You can call toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 or contact a Taxpayer Assistance Center Local IRS Office.
    2. You can request a transcript
    3. You must provide your
      1. name,
      2. address, city and state (including zip code),
      3. Social Security Number,
      4. phone number,
      5. Employer’s name,
      6. address, city and state (including zip code), and
      7. employer's phone number
  5. As a last resort, if you have a pay stub you ban complete a for 4852 Substitute for Form W-2

How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?
