I quit my previous job in September, where would that W2 form go since I moved to a different address?

I moved to a different address. How do I get my W2 form for that employer?

Here's some things you can do:

  • Ask your employer when/if they mailed out their W-2s yet
  • If they did mail already to a previous address, ask them to re-send it to the new one.
  • See if you can import your W-2.

If you haven't received your W-2 by February 14:

  1. Grab your last 2016 paystub and call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
  2. The IRS will ask you for some info before following up with your employer.
  3. 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. Instructions

What if you worked for a huge corporation and don't have the payroll department's number handy?
