Find My W2 Tax Form Online For 2011, 2012
68How Can I Find My W2 Tax Form Online?
If your W2 doesn't arrive in the mail in a timely manner, you can find your W2 tax form online if your employer provides this tax form service for you.
If your employer does not post W2 tax forms online, then you do have other options in locating your W2 tax form. Some employers are equipped with sending their employees their W2’s electronically and are available online.
If your employer is a company that has this service available, you will need either their company name or their employer code to access your W-2.
However if your employer does not have this service available, then your employer must have your W-2 post marked by January 31st. If you did not receive your W-2 by this deadline, then first call your employer for a copy.
How To Find Your W2 Tax Form Online:
If you still do not receive your W-2 or cannot reach your past employer due to a number of circumstances, you can contact the IRS and get help in locating your W2 tax form. You will need to call the IRS at (800) 829-1040, and be prepared to provide the following information:
- The employer's name and complete address, including a zip code and telephone number.
- The employer identification number (EIN), if possible. If you've worked for this employer for more than one year, you might find the EIN on your last year's W-2 form. You might also find it on one of your pay stubs. It's not necessary to have it, but it's very helpful.
- An estimate of your wages and withholding amounts. You can generally get this from your most recent pay stub with that employer or you can add all your previous pay stubs to come up with an amount.
- The date that you began and ended your employment with the employer.
Your past employer must report your wages to the IRS when they file their tax return so the IRS will have record of it at some point.
What To Do If You Cannot Find Your W2 Tax Form Online
As a last resort you may file a form 4852. Form 4852 is a substitute wage and tax statement that you can use as an absolute last resort. Form 4852 should only be filed if you can't get your actual W-2 form by the tax filing deadline date of April 17th. It can't be used simply as a convenience for the employee, as opposed to trying to track down your employer and receiving your W-2 tax form.
Once you have received your W-2 or you are ready to file your income taxes and need to file a form 4852 you can prepare your taxes online. However you will not be able to e-file and you must print and mail your income tax return to the IRS.

fine w2 for 2010
Some companies are done with all of their paper work earlier than other ones. So the ones that are done ealier have theirs sent out to their employess sooner. I am still waiting on mine too. You will get it soon, January is almost over.
i am still waiting for mines i remember getting mine last year around january, my boyfriend has already got his yesterday what up with that?
W-2 forms are still provided by your employers. You cannot get them any earlier than when your employer's accounting team is finished with them. The IRS allows employers until January 31st to send out W-2 forms. Until then there is no guaranteed way to get your W-2 form.
How can I get my w2 early?
why is it taking so long to get my w2s back this year?
I was going to file my taxes with my last checkstub but I get paranoid about getting autited.
YOU DO NOT NEED YOUR W-2 IF FILING ON YOUR OWN...ALL U NEED IS YOUR EMPLOYER FEIN AND LAST PAY STUB AT WORST YOU WILL BE A FEW BUCKS OFF...NO BIGGIE THE IRS USUALLY ONLY MESSES WITH THOSE YOU DONT PAY OR OWE....
