    @Urrutia3 

    if the co. won't give it to you , you may have to file on paper to not be late.

     

    Hint:

    Do you know anyone else who worked at the company?

    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 February 1 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.

     

     

    Other ways to get W-2’s:

     

    Pay Social Security $90 per W-2:

    You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.
