Can I claim taxes from 3 years ago if I do not have w-2's?

Question

If a few of the compnaies went out of business and she cant get her w-2 how can she file and if it is not possible to claim for previous years will it be a problem to this year alone.

Answer 1

YES I WENT TO IRS.GOV AND FILED FROM 3 years ago and got my tax return chek 6 weeks later

Answer 2

You can only file one year earning for the year earned. If you need W2 for previous years contact IRS at 1-800-829-1040, or visit you local IRS office for copies, your local IRS will print out a transcript and provide it to you on the day of your visit.. Or download form 4506-T, and request the W2 information to be mailed to you for free but usually can take up 30 days to provide the information to you. And since you have not filed returns for the 3 previous years I am surprise you haven't received a ASFR (automated substitute for return?) where IRS gives you the optortuntiy to file the return yourself or IRS will file the return for you giving you no dependent and not deductions. If you do not file the previous years returns before filing your 2007 return and you have a refund due, you will not get the refund until all your returns are file, new program IRS has which is REFUND HOLD. IRS holds your refund until you file and they fully process the returns and see that you don't owe if you owe IRS will offset your refund to pay any amount you owe.

Answer 3

You can get the old W-2 information from the IRS if you can't get it from the companies.

You can file a return from 3 years ago. For tax years 2004 and later, you can still get your refund if you have one coming.

Answer 4

The ASFR only gets issued if the taxpayer appears to owe. If the withholding is enough to cover the tax liability, the IRS won't issue mail.

Answer 5

you acquire paid the money at one time you paid taxes on it that one time and for 2 years you will have no earnings nor earnings tax you ought to have worked out a deferred value plan with them once you signed the contract
