How can I get a copy of my 2015 WE from a former employee who sold that business last year as I failed to file my taxes last year. Will I lose my 2015 income tax return?

[fuselier73]

I need to find the quickest way to obtain a copy of last year's W2 so that I can file my taxes ASAP for last year and I also have to file my taxes for 2017. I made minimum wage last year so what will be the penalties for not filing taxes last year? I just want to get this taken care of immediately. Please help!!

The quickest way would be to obtain a tax transcript of your W-2s from the IRS. You can either call them or go to this website here:

You may also be able to use the directions below to enter that "W-2" without an actual W-2
