Tax Filing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Q: How do I get a copy of a prior tax return and W-2?
As long as you filed your tax return with the IRS, you can request a photocopy or
computer transcript of the information on your filed return at no charge. If you need
an actual copy of the return or W-2, you will need to complete a Form 4506 and pay a
$39 fee for the return and related information, like your W-2.
Q: How do I get my Form W-2?
Your employer is required to provide your completed W-2 showing your compensation
and tax withholding amounts for the calendar year by January 31. If you do
not receive it, contact your employer. If it is not received by February 15, call the
IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to register a complaint. Provide your tax specialist with your
last pay stub until your W-2 is received.
