Tax Year Prior to 2020: I need my w2 from Walmart. I don't know my EIN because I no longer work there.

It depends.               

 

You should try to contact the employer first to see if they can send you a copy of your W-2 Form from that year.

 

If you are unsuccessful there, you can always refer to the following information on the IRS website.  You can either request a copy if you submitted a copy of your W-2 with your tax return.  Or you can contact the Social Security administration to request a copy as well.

Then you have to ask the employer for another copy.

W-2's come from your employer, and they have until Jan. 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it.  You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

Other ways to get W-2’s:

 

Pay Social Security $86 per W-2:

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.

Contact the Wal-Mart personnel department for your 2020 W-2.

Wait for it.  They have to send it to you by Jan 31.  Do they have your current address?

Ask your employer for a W2.

Your employer is required to send W-2s by January 31.  Here are some other thoughts.

  • Were you an employee of WalMart in 2019?  Perhaps the EIN for WalMart has not changed.  Try the EIN of WalMart on the prior year’s W-2.
  • Ask a friend who still works at WalMart what the EIN is.
  • Ask your employer when they mailed out W-2s.
  • Did your employer mail your W-2 to an old address? If so, ask them to mail a duplicate W-2 to the new address.

If you cannot get a copy of your W-2 by February 14, then you may be able to file your return using a substitute W-2 but you will not be able to electronically file your return.  To do this, you would need have your final pay stub from December and file using the numbers on that final pay stub.
