A W-2 form, also known as a Wage and Tax Statement, is a document that reports an employee’s annual wages and the amount of taxes withheld from their paycheck. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires employers to provide W-2 forms to their employees by January 31st of each year. You will need to have a W-2 to file your income taxes, so it is important to make sure that you have it. If you have not received your W-2 from your previous employer, there are a few steps you can take to get it.
The first step is to contact your previous employer and ask for a copy of your W-2. You can do this by phone, email, or in person. If you are unable to reach your previous employer, you can try contacting the IRS. The IRS will be able to provide you with a copy of your W-2 if you have filed a tax return in the past.
