If you never recieve a W2 from an employer, you can file a substitute W2. Those cannot be filed electronically until February 15th though. Using your last paystub, you reconstruct your wages and estimate what they were. That info goes on the Substitute w-2.

The question was asked many times daily on Yahoo answers "if you could file with your last pay stub" and everyone answered correctly! Now you go and file with the last pay stub, and of course different amounts, just like told on Yahoo answers. Well it is your responsibility to file your taxes with you w2 and only w2 not pay stubs, of course the tax pre place filed with your pay stub, they didn't care about you, only want the money they were going to charge you, possibly an arm and a leg. Regardless of receiving more money or not as a refund is not the issue, the issue is you filed a fraudulent tax return by not reporting all your income. Now to correct your mistake is wait until IRS processes your original tax return and refunds you. Once the refund is received by you, then you can go and amend the tax return by filing Form 1040X. again it may not get you more money, but at least you aren't under reporting your income, better yet wait a while to make sure you have all your Form 1099INT from your banks etc. Processing of tax returns for e-filing is a standard two weeks, if error are found then it will take longer for you to receive the refund Good luck!

You must wait until February 15th to receive your W2, if you do not have them by then and you have made every effort to get them (contact the employers), then you can use a Substitute W-2 in its place based on your last pay stub.

you need to wait. you can't file a return without proof (W2) of wages.
