You would need to request a copy from your employer or payroll department. For more information on how to get a copy of your W-2, please visit the Help Article below.

There’s no other way than to ask a former employer to get my w-2? What if the employer refuses or doesn’t get around to it? Or if they lost it?

You can file a substitute W-2 in TurboTax. 

 

You can file a conventional paper return that includes IRS Form 4852 if all efforts to obtain a W-2 from your employer have failed. Here's how to fill one out: 

  

In your TurboTax program, search for W-2 and then select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the W-2 entry screen. 

• Fill out your W-2 as best you can using the information from your last pay stub. 
• When finished, proceed through the interview. You'll get to the Let's check for uncommon situations  screen. 
• Check the Didn't get a W-2 box.
• Check any other box(es) that apply to your W-2 before selecting Continue. 
• Carefully follow the onscreen instructions. 

Returns including Form 4852 can't be e-filed per IRS regulations.
