How do you get another copy of W-2?

How do i get a copy of my w2 forms?

  • this is my first time filing, unfortunately i keep losing my forms, how do i get a copy of this years w2 forms from the irs, i was told i could do so. i dont want to keep asking my employer because i already asked them for a copy twice and they gave me one twice but for some reason my w2 forms keep disappearing.

  • Answer:

    You can't request them from the IRS yet. IRS will not have them available until after August 2008. You must get them from your employer. Hope no one has filed a tax return using your social security and their name. Good Luck.

You get them from your employer, not the IRS. Sorry, but you'll have to call them again and this time, blame it on the dog or...something.

You should go to the web site; http://www.nyc.gov/html/opa/downloads/pdf/w-2duplicate.pdf and download the form to mail directly to the Pay roll office.

You can't get them from the IRS - employers no longer send in copies of the actual W-2 - NOW the information is transmitted to the IRS electronically, so YOU MUST go back to your employers and ask them for copies and if you have lost the more than once, they can charge whatever they want for the hassle of getting you copies

you can only get them from your employer but perhaps if they start charging you for added copies you will learn to be more responsible & learn to keep them in a safe place.

Get a third copy and take it directly to a tax professional. Get it done right the first time.

It would probably take A LONG time to get them from the IRS. It would probably be better to be a little embarrased and ask your employer again. They have to send the to the IRS, but you don't know if they have actually done that yet or not. Go to IRS.gov and see what you can find out.

You need to ask your employer a third time and start being a little more responsible.
