I lost my W-2. I woke at the same place as last year, although I’ve had a promotion and ownership has changed. What do I do?

I lost my W-2. I woke at the same place as last year, although I’ve had a promotion and ownership has changed. What do I do?

If you cannot contact your employer, you can log into your IRS account to obtain copies of your W-2 transcripts. Here are the steps:

Creating or Logging into Your IRS Account

  1. Visit the IRS Online Account page: IRS Online Account
  2. Sign in or create an account:
    • If you're a new user, have your photo identification ready for identity verification.
    • Follow the prompts to create your account or log in if you already have one.

Obtaining W-2 Transcripts

Access your tax records:

  • Once logged in, navigate to the "Tax Records" section.
  • Select "Get Transcript Online."

Request a Wage and Income Transcript:

  • This transcript includes the federal tax information your employer reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
  • You can view, print, or download your transcript directly from your online account.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the IRS page on getting your tax records and transcripts
