If you haven't received your W-2 by February 14th, then you will want to contact the IRS if your employer is uncooperative in providing your W-2.
I cant get my w2 from arby's they are saying I cant find my information
Employer's have until Jan 31st to issue W-2's. So until "AFTER" That date has passed, there's nothing you can do. Besides, the IRS won't even start processing returns until Jan 27th. That date could change to. So filing your return before then will not in any way, form or fashion get you your refund any faster. But if you e-file early and your return is one the IRS pulls "before" their official start date to test their systems, you risk not getting your return at all if during their test with your return, things go south and it's lost in la-la land.
You will need to contact your employer in order to get your W-2.
If you still don’t get your W-2, contact the IRS and tell them your employer didn't send it. The IRS toll free number is 800-829-1040.
The IRS will send your employer a letter requesting that they furnish you a corrected Form W-2 within ten days. The letter advises your employer of their responsibilities to provide a correct Form W-2 and of the penalties for failure to do so.
The IRS will send you a letter with instructions and Form 4852 Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099-R, Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc. You can use the Form 4852 in the event that your employer does not provide you with Form W-2 in time to file your tax return.
If you’ve attempted to obtain your W-2 and are unsuccessful, you can file using a substitute Form W-2, Form 4852.
