W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 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. Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. 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.

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.

You can file your extension at our Easy Extension website, or select your situation here for detailed steps. Keep in mind, an extension does not give you extra time to pay your taxes, which are due on April 15, 2025.

Per IRS:

If you contacted your employer and still don't have your W-2, call us at 800-829-1040.

Have your information ready so we can help you:

• Name, address and phone number
• Social Security or individual tax ID number
• Dates when you worked for the employer
• Employer's name, address and phone number

We'll contact your employer and request the missing W-2.

We'll also send you a copy of Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. You can use this to file your tax return without your W-2.
