You should probably extend your tax return at this point.  Make sure you enter all of your information at this point as any tax due should be paid by May 17th to avoid any late payment penalties or interest. 

 

Does an extension give me more time to pay my taxes?

 

You can file an extension within the program itself.

  1. Log back into your TurboTax account  and go to the federal section
  2. Select Other Tax Situations at the top of the screen
  3. Scroll down to Other Tax Forms
  4. Select File an Extension
  5. Proceed to answer the questions and follow the prompts to file your extension and make your tax payments

If you have tried contacting your employer to obtain your W-2 form but have not had success, you can contact the IRS to request a copy of your W-2 Form.
