I used to work for the company Brinker but I quit about halfway through 2023. I received my w2 later that year but I lost it before I was ever able to file it. I still haven’t done that and I want to get it out of the way but I’m not sure how to go about recovering a copy of my w2 to do so

    TurboTax does not have your W-2.   W-2’s come from employers.

     

    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.

    Pay Social Security $62 per tax year for your W-2’s.:

    It depends. You can ask the employer which will give you both state and federal information. The next option would be to obtain your IRS W-2 Transcript.
