It is always best to wait until you have all your information before filing. You may file and then amend and then find you have some other information that was omitted and have to do yet another amendment. It can get messy.

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.

Did you contact that employer ?    Maybe you can pick up the W-2 instead of waiting for it in the mail.  Do they have your correct mailing address ?
