    If the W-2 is not available, here are the steps to take to get your W-2.

     

    1. You can try to import it on TurboTax.  (See the process below).
    2. Contact your employer  Contact your employer to see if the W-2 has ben sent, and request a duplicate.
    3. Go online, many employers have an online service to provide document like W-2's.
    4. Contact the IRS:  If you could not get it from your employer you can contact the IRS.
      1. You can call toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 or contact a Taxpayer Assistance Center Local IRS Office.
      2. You can request a transcript
      3. You must provide your
        1. name,
        2. address, city and state (including zip code),
