Ready to file your tax return but can’t find your W-2 form? If you realized you lost a prior year W-2, there’s still hope. The process to get a copy of a W-2 can be fairly simple. In order to receive a copy of your prior year W-2, you have three options. After requesting the W-2, create an account and start preparing your late tax return on Option #1: Get your W-2 from previous employer.

The easiest way to get a copy of a lost W-2, is to contact the employer who issued it. The payroll department of your employer (or former employer) should be saving important tax information, such as W-2s.

Ask for the W-2 to be sent to you. This process is pretty simple and shouldn’t take much time. Option #2: Get your W-2 from employer’s payroll provider. Have you asked your employer for your W-2 and noticed that he mentally added the task to the very bottom of his To-Do list?

If you know that your employer (or past employer) uses a payroll provider instead of calculating payroll in-office, skip the middleman and give the company a call yourself. When you call, be prepared to verify your SSN or employee number as they may ask for it. While speaking to the payroll provider, you may want to confirm the following: • Specify the year of the W-2 form that you need sent to you.

• Verify the address they have on file for you. This is the address they will mail your W-2 to. • Ask how long it will take for them to mail your W-2 form. Option #3: Get your W-2 from the IRS. For an actual copy of your W-2 form, you will need to file. This gets you a copy of your tax return along with your W-2.
