I am missing a w2 from taco bell. How can I get this

You should always contact your employer for a copy of the W-2 you are missing.

If you tried multiple times and were unable to get one, then if you have all your paystubs for the year you can add them together and enter them on the Substitute W2 Form 4852 that you can download or request from IRS and fill out,

If you do not have the federal ID #, then you will probably be forced to file a paper return.  So, take all steps with your employer to get an actual copy from them so you can e-file it.

Here are some guidelines for using:

You must take the following steps before filing Form 4852

• Attempt to get your Form W-2, Form W-2c, or Form 1099-R (original or corrected) from your employer or payer before contacting the IRS or filing Form 4852.
• If you don’t receive the missing or corrected form from your employer or payer by the end of February, you may call the IRS at 800-829-1040 for assistance.
• You must provide your name, address (including ZIP code), phone number, social security number, and dates of employment.
• You must also provide your employer’s or payer’s name, address (including ZIP code), and phone n so you can umber.
• The IRS will contact your employer or payer and request the missing form.
• The IRS will also send you a Form 4852.
• If you don’t receive the missing form in sufficient time to file your income tax return timely, you may use the Form 4852 that the IRS sent you to file with your return

You need to contact your employer to receive a full copy of your W2. 

You are able to get a limited copy (federal information only, no state information) by requesting a "Wage and Income" transcript from the IRS.  Here is a link to make that request if needed.  

They have until Jan 31 to send it to you.  Keep waiting.  Or go and ask the employer or manager where you worked.

For the actual W-2, there are three ways to get them.

1. Ask your employer(s) for another copy. (Best resource)
2. Get them from the Social Security Administration. There is a fee of $90. See the following link. How can I get a copy of my W-2
3. See the following link for details. Get a Copy OR Transcript of Your Return

If you just need the information from your W-2 forms, but not an actual copy, you could use your pay stubs (last one for the year) or use the IRS transcript for federal information (link above).

@Kmagent  You have added on to a very old post.  What do you need help with?

@melstone21 Then you need to contact Taco Bell.   

 W-2's come from employers.   If your employer is partnered with TurboTax to allow the W-2 data to be imported into the software you can do that---but you need the actual W-2 so that you can enter the EIN and the amount from box 1 to import the other data from the W-2---which just saves you the little bit of keying in of the other information.

Every 2022 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2022 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.

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 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.  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.

I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

 W-2's come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.  

TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s).   You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $126).

To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual 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.

Or you can pay the IRS $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s
