i never received my w2 from work for last year- how can i get a copy so i can file my taxes?

Answer 1

If you still do not receive your W-2 by February 14th, contact the IRS for assistance at 800-829-1040. When you call, have the following information:

Employer's name, address, city, and state, including zip code.


Your name, address, city and state, including zip code, and Social Security number
If you misplaced your W-2, contact your employer. Your employer can replace the lost form with a “reissued statement.” Be aware that your employer is allowed to charge you a fee for providing you with a new W-2.

You still must file your tax return on time even if you do not receive your Form W-2. If you do not receive the missing information in time to file, you may file you may use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. Attach Form 4852 to the return, estimating income and withholding taxes as accurately as possible. There may be a delay in any refund due while the information is verified.

If you receive a Form W-2 or W-2C (corrected form) after you have filed your return using Form 4852, and the information differs from what you reported on your return, you must amend your return by filing a Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

Answer 2

If you have your final pay stub for the last time you were paid in 2006, you can use the information from that to file your taxes. You really don't need a W-2 unless you're involved in stock options, retirement plans, compensation other than wages, or other weird stuff.

If you don't have your last pay stub, follow Rob's advice above. (Calling the IRS is often a pain in the crabista. Avoid it if you can...)

Answer 3

get in contact with that payroll department now -
they were supposed to have it in your hands by Jan 31, 2007 for 2006 wages

best of luck

Answer 4
