I just moved twice in the past year, so I was told that your W-2's will not be forwarded more than one time.

When you move, make sure you call former employers and update your mailing address.

Yes, but not as soon as possible. The form that you are calling a "secondary form" is actually called a "substitute form". You cannot get one before February 15. Before you can get one, you must: 1) Ask the employer for a W-2. 2) Wait a reasonable amount of time to give the employer a chance to comply 3) After February 15, call the IRS and say that you asked the employer for the W-2 and did not receive it. (If you call before February 15, they won't send the substitute form. Waiting until after February 15 is a requirement, to give employers time to send W-2 forms.) A "W-2" specifically means a form from the employer. If you get a form from the IRS, or anyone else in the world, who was not your employer, then it is not a W-2. To be a W-2, it has to come from the employer.

You should only submit substitute W-2's if you have made reasonable efforts to obtain the original or a dulplicate from the employer. If both employers are still in business, simply ring them up and ask them.

If you go to H & R Block, they can submit what is called "Substitute W-2's". I don't know if Jackson Hewitt has them or any other company. I went through H & R Block and was told that when I get mines to come back in before April 15th or I'd end up owing the bank what my refund was.

You can, if you have reasonable documentation to show your year-end totals (final paystubs, etc.) You'll also need the company EIN (Tax ID number). Then you can't file until after Feb 15 without those darn W-2's.

If you have your last paystub from each of the former employers, then you could go from that. Then hope you don't get audited. I suggest you call your previous employer and request a new copy.

You don't. Call your former employers and give them your new address so they can send your documents to the correct place.
