Question

Can I still file even though I’m still missing a W-2 and it’s almost March?

    You can file at any time, BUT when you get the W-2, you will HAVE to file an amended return. This can cost you and is a hassle.

     

    Amened returns take much longer to process, so if you get a refund from your amended return, you are likely to have to wait 12-16 weeks. Probably better to wait for your next W-2.

     

    Is your employer refusing to send you your W-2? Please see this IRS page.

     

    If your employer sent a copy of your W-2 to the IRS (like they were supposed to), you can get a copy (data only) for free from the IRS at Get Transcript.
