How to Get a Replacement Form W-2

By Business & Finance Last updated Thursday, June/13/2024

1). Check with your company's payroll department to check that the forms were mailed and when. Confirm they have your current address. Perhaps payroll can issue a replacement form.
2). Contact the IRS if you cannot get your employer to give you a replacement. However, before making the call, get some details from your last pay slip, including your company's Employer Identification Number.
3). Download and print Form 4852, if necessary, from IRS.gov. This is a substitute for the W-2, which your employer can perhaps complete for you.
4). Keep the IRS apprised of all developments. The IRS is on your side and will do its part so your employer will issue a replacement W-2.
