  • You can get a wage and income transcript, containing the Federal tax information your employer reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA), by using Get Transcript Online. Refer to Transcript Types and Ways to Order Them for more information.
  • You can also use Form 4506-TRequest for Transcript of Tax Return. Check the box for Form W-2, specify which tax year(s) you need, and mail or fax the completed form. Allow 5 to 10 days from the IRS received date to receive the transcript.
  • You will have to contact your states department of revenue to get the wage and income transcript in order to complete your state return.

    Note: 
    Wage and income transcripts are available for up to 10 years but current tax year information may not be complete until July. This transcript doesn't include any state or local tax information reported by your employer to SSA on Form W-2.

If you believe you will be receiving a refund you can wait to file your return until later in the year.

 

Once all of the tax documents have posted through the IRS system then you can get a Wage and Income transcript from the IRS.

 

If all of your jobs sent W-2s to the IRS is will appear as part of this transcript.  Once you have this information you can file your tax return.

 

Usually the current year's Wage and Income Transcripts are not available until late May or early June.

 

If you believe you may have a balance due then you can file an extension and pay the amount you believe will be due.  Then you have until October 15, 2020 to file your tax return.

Hopefully between which employers your remember and the W2s your received you can get them all by contacting employers.  If not, as Patrice mentions above.

The reply by Irene2805  has the information on how you can determine how many W-2s you were issued.

  • "You can get a wage and income transcript, containing the Federal tax information your employer reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA), by using Get Transcript Online. Refer to Transcript Types and Ways to Order Them for more information.

If i mail in the form 4506-T will the IRS have the W-2 data for the years I am requesting if the federal tax return was never filed?

Yes, the IRS receives W-2 data from employers.  They have your W-2 data even if you did not file your tax return.
