Will I get a W2 from maxim? I got an email from turbo tax that you received a W2 from maxim. How do I see this info as I did not receive one?

Every 2021 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2021 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 January 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.

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.

 

If you used TurboTax last year to file your taxes and if this company has partnered with TurboTax for the import feature, it is simply sending you an email to show you that you can use your W-2 to get started on your taxes. However, this is simply based on the information from last year. 

 

TurboTax will not have your W-2. You will have to contact your HR or payroll department to get a copy of your W-2, if you have not already received one. Additionally, if you did not work for this company in 2021 then you will not be getting a W-2 and you can ignore this email, since this email is simply using the information from last filing period.
