I moved and have lost my W2's And I can't reach anyone at my former employer to send me copies. How do I file my taxes without them. I have filed for extensions for this

I don't know all the numbers in the boxes that Turbo Tax will require, so it makes doing a complete filing next to impossible.

If your employer can’t give you your W-2, contact the IRS. Call 800.829.1040 and give the IRS your name and any other personal information they ask for. Then give them your employer’s name and address. They will be able to find your W-2 if your company sent it to them. Sometimes companies send their tax information to the IRS even if they don’t send it to their employees. 

If the IRS can’t find your W-2, fill out IRS Form 4852. You can find this form on the IRS website. Use your last paystub of the calendar year to fill it out. Attach this form to the 1040 and mail it to the IRS. If you fill out this form and then eventually receive your W-2, you will most likely be required to file an amended return to show the correct data.

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

In TurboTax it will have a checkbox for a substitute W-2 and can put in your information to have the form created by TurboTax.
