here do i go to locate my w-2 forms for previos years?

Question

i am looking for my w-2 forms from the years of 2004 and 2005.

Answer 1

you are suppose to save them for 7 years

Answer 2

The best sources in order are:
1. Keep them in a file.
2. Contact your employer.
3. Call the IRS at 1-800-TAX-1040.
I recently requested a transcript of my 2005 tax return. It took 8 days to arrive. W-2 information from the IRS will not include state or local withholding.

Answer 3

Go in person to your local Internal Revenue Service Taxpayer Assistance office and ask for copies of your previous years tax returns. They will only be able to go back about three or four years at a time. The service is free and make sure you bring some ID. Best of all,check with your employer(s) to get a copy from them.

Answer 4

Call the IRS at 800-829-1040. They can mail them to you or fax them. They will not have your previous year (2006) to send to you until around October.
For your state - you will have to call them separately from the IRS.

Answer 5

Ask your previous employer for the #'s and you can fill out a replacement form

Answer 6

We can get them from the IRS. If you have a taxable state, the state info is not on the IRS copies, though.

Answer 7

contact the irs they will fax or mail them to you. the only thing that they will not have on file is your state taxes

Answer 8

Answer 9
