Ask your employer.  Some companies have online portals where you can download it.  I would start by asking someone in your payroll department or HR.  By law, your employer is required to provide you with your W2 by the end of January..

In case you cannot get your W-2 from your employer, then you can contact the IRS. Please view this TurboTax FAQ and follow the directions below

  1. Grab your last 2019 pay stub and call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
  2. The IRS will ask you for some info before following up with your employer.
  3. After notifying the IRS, you can either continue waiting for your W-2 or paper-file your return using Form 4852 and your last pay stub.
