I can't get my W2 from previous employer. How to file taxes now

Employers have until January 31 to mail your W-2 so you may still receive it. If you don't receive it by the beginning of February, contact your employer's Payroll or Human Resources Department.

 

If you continue to have issues getting your W-2, you can contact the IRS to contact your employer to request the missing W-2.  Another option is to complete a substitute W-2 by filling out Form 4852 in TurboTax.

 

Refer to the IRS article What to do when a W-2 or Form 1099 is missing or incorrect for more information.

 

Refer to the TurboTax Help article What To Do If You Haven't Received a W-2.
