You can find your W-2 form in several ways:

• From your employer: The fastest way to get your current year W-2 is to ask your employer directly, as they are required to provide it by January 31 each year

. If you have online access to your employer’s payroll system (such as ADP), you may be able to download your W-2 there

• Check your mail and email: Employers may mail your W-2 or send a notification email with a link to download it. Check your mailbox and your email spam folder for any messages about your W-2

• Contact your former employer or payroll provider: If you need a W-2 from a previous employer, contact their HR or payroll department. If they use a third-party payroll service, contact that provider

• If you cannot get it from your employer: After February 14, if you still have not received your W-2 and cannot reach your employer, you can call the IRS at 800-829-1040. You will need to provide your employer’s EIN, your details, and estimated earnings. The IRS will then contact your employer to request the form

• Request from the Social Security Administration (SSA): You can request a copy of your W-2 from the SSA for any year since 1978 by mailing a request with required information and payment to their office

In summary, start by contacting your employer or checking their online portal. If unsuccessful, reach out to the IRS or SSA for assistance in obtaining your W-2
