It is still early. The due date is January 31 for employers to mail W-2 forms. Further, you cannot file your income tax return until 2/12/21. So you have plenty of time to get your W-2. If you received your W-2 but lost it, your best bet is to ask your employer or payroll department for another copy of your W-2. Here are some more options: Order a copy from the Social Security Administration. It's free if you need it for Social Security-related reasons; otherwise, it's $86 per request. Order a full copy of your return from the IRS for $50, which will also include your W-2. Wage and income transcripts are available from the IRS free of charge. They're not exact copies, but they contain everything on your W-2 except the state and local information.

Question

What should I do if I don’t have or can’t find my W-2s for 2020?
