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.
