Q: How do I get a copy of a prior tax return and W-2?
If you filed your tax return with the IRS, you can easily request a free photocopy or transcript of your filed return. Alternatively, if you need an actual copy of your return or W-2, complete Form 4506 and pay the required fee.
Q: How do I get my Form W-2?
Your employer must provide your completed W-2 by January 31. If you don’t receive it, contact your employer. Should it not arrive by February 15, you can escalate the issue by contacting the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to file a complaint. Meanwhile, provide your tax specialist with your last pay stub until you receive your W-2.
