Employers have until January 31 to mail out W-2 forms. If your employer fails to give you your W-2 by February 14, you should contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. The IRS will ask you for some info before following up with your employer. After notifying the IRS, you can either continue waiting for your W-2, or paper-file your return using Form 4852 and your last paystub. Click this blue link for  Instructions

Here's a link to the IRS website with more information about W-2 replacement https://www.irs.gov/faqs/irs-procedures/w-2-additional-incorrect-lost-non-receipt-omitted/w-2-additi...

Make sure your employer has your correct address. If you have moved make sure you have an active change of address on file with the post office.

The best way to get your W-2 is to call your former employer Walmart if you have not received your W-2 by the second week in February (W-2's are required to be mailed out by 1/31/2020). If you do not get your copy, please request they mail you another one so you have it. 

 

Another option is to import your W-2 into the tax software (if your employer participates in this). If you worked for Walmart in the past, you can use certain pieces of information from your prior W-2 to answer the questions which will allow you to import it.

You should contact Walmart to get a copy of your W2.  The EIN is an Employer Identification Number that is issued to and identifies Walmart to the IRS.

Please see Solved: What can I do if I have not received my W2 from a ...  Your employer must provide you a W2 if you request it.  You really cannot prepare an accurate tax return without it.

If you retired you don't get a W2.  You  should get a 1099R for pension or 401K or  IRA distributions.

You need to contact Wal-Mart to get a copy of your W-2.  Contact their HR department and they can get you a copy.  

 

We can't guarantee your taxes will be accurate if you try to file without your W-2.  There's important info on your W-2 that may not be on your final pay stub.

 

Your employer is required to send W-2s by January 31. If you haven't received your W-2 by February 14 or you have lost it, we have some suggestions.

 

You can't e-file if you use a substitute W-2 and since the IRS is only processing e-filed returns, there is no reason to file by mail without your W-2 as it won't be processed until the IRS returns to normal operations.

What do you mean by it isn't going in? If you cannot import your W-2, you do have the option to manually enter the information.

  • From the Federal menu in TurboTax Online, click Wages & Income
  • Expand the menu for Wages and Salaries
  • Click Start/Revisit next to Wages and Salaries (W-2)
  • Click Add a W-2
  • Enter the information as shown on your W-2 and click Continue

Your answer is completely useless without the physical W-2 in front of you. The OP's question is how do I get my W-2 from my employer (Walmart)? Not how do I import my W-2 I've received from my employer into Turbo Tax? I followed your instructions thinking Turbo Tax somehow fetches my W-2 from Walmart by entering my employee ID into Intuit. I was hoping for too much. It was a waste of time. Now I'm replying to your comment in the hopes that nobody else makes the same mistake I did.
