I worked for Pizza Hut for the first two weeks of 2020. Will I still get a W2 for this employer and do I have to report it on my tax return?

I was employed with Pizza Hut all year of 2019, but left the job on January 10th. Not certain of what I made but it was only one paycheck and my vacation pay I had left so it was roughly less than $1200.

Yes you still have to include that W-2.

Every 2020 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2020 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.

ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return. 

Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.

After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.

W-2's come from your employer, and they have until February 1 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.

And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2!  TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU.  TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo.  It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.

You must report all your income.  If you got paid in 2020 you should get a W2 for it.  They have until Jan 31 to send it to you. If you don't get one ask the employer.  Plus you want to get credit for any withholding taken out.  There's no hurry to file.  The IRS won't start taking returns until Feb 12 this year.
