How can I get my w2 from a former employer?

You should first contact the employer that you worked for to request a copy of your W-2. 

If you cannot get a copy of your W-2 for whatever reason, there are a few options you have:

• You can get a transcript of from the IRS at the page, Get Your Tax Record.
• You can get a copy of your W-2 from the Social Security Administration - How can I get a copy of my wage and tax statements (Form W-2)?
• You can use your paystubs and complete a substitute W-2 in TurboTax. Please note, if you use this option, you will have to paper file your return. To complete a substitute W-2 in TurboTax, please follow the instructions on the page, How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?

 W-2’s come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.  

 Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.
