I don't have a W-2 but I have the gross total amount for the year, how do i find out how much is Fed./ State

Answer 1

You have to get a copy of your W-2 from your employer. They are required by law to provide one for you. If the don't, report them to the IRS. The IRS will tell you what to do in that event.

Answer 2

If you worked in only one state during the year, then the gross total amount will be the total income you use for federal, and that same amount is also the gross total income for state.

If you worked in more than one state, then you report the gross total income on your federal, and each state return. Then, on each state return, you have to apportion the correct amount to each state.

If you are an employee, then you need to file your w-2 or create a substitute w-2:

Contact the IRS to see if they can provide a copy of your w-2, or a transcript of your account showing the employer's withholdings amounts. Or use the information from your final paystub for the year.

If you are self employed, you do not need to file your 1099-Misc unless it shows tax withheld.

Answer 3

Ask the employer.

What year(s) is/are involved? If it was 2006 and the employer is no longer in business, you can file with your last pay stub. IRS has a form for that. If you wait until July or August, the IRS computers will have it and you can get it as well as the amounts withheld by calling 800-829-1040.

Answer 4

Gross income should be identical for federal and state. If you cannot obtain a W-2 from your employer download from IRS.GOV forms a form 4852 / Substitute for Form W-2, Wage & Tax Statement. If you have your numbers you can fill out said form and use it to complete your tax return.

Answer 5

Assume social security rate Deduct half and estimate small percentage (5% to 10%) for taxes. IRS will adjust it. than they may charge penalties & interest. or You get refund.
