lost w2 form old employer no longer in business?

Answer 1

call the Internal Revenue Service at 1-800-829-1040 and file a W2 complaint. They wil take a report and send you a form that you can use as a subsitute, you will need your last paycheck stub when you call, along with the name, address and phone# of the employer and what dates you worked for them


Update
The IRS allows the use of the substitue form, but you must put a complaint in first they will send you the substitute form when you file the complaint

Answer 2

Your old corporation is needed by ability of federal regulation to provide you a W2 by ability of Jan 31. It feels like your corporation took out the deductions out of your pay (federal, state and social protection) and did no longer deliver the money in. giving you a W2 would disclose his scheme. report your taxes besides. in case you have your very final pay stub from 2010, use that if it shows your complete pay for the 300 and sixty 5 days. touch the IRS for added information on what you're able to do.

Answer 3

In cases where you can't get a copy of a W-2, the IRS allows you to use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, avaiable on the IRS website at www.irs.gov. On the form, you'll fill in the income you earned, the taxes withheld, the name and Tax ID of the employer, etc., as well as the reason you couldn't get a replacement W-2, and include it with your tax return.

Of course, if you lost the W-2, you probably don't know all that information. But the IRS does, and can look it up using your social security number. You can call them at 800-829-1040 and ask them what their records reflect for your account for that year.
