I did not file my 2016 taxes.. how can i file without W2?
Q) I did not file my 2016 taxes due to not ever being able to get my W2 from a company how can i file that if i don’t have the information.
A) You can use Form 4852 and your last paystub to file income taxes. Failing that, you can use IRS Form 4852 to file your tax return. Download Form 4852 from the IRS website and complete it using a copy of your last paystub. Once complete, attach Form 4852 to your 1040 or other tax form and send it to the IRS.
This form serves as a substitute for Forms W-2, W-2c, and 1099-R and is completed by taxpayers or their representatives when:
Their employer or payer does not give them a Form W-2 or Form 1099-R, or
An employer or payer has issued an incorrect Form W-2 or Form 1099-R.
According to the IRS – Some tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons, including when a return:
Includes errors
Is incomplete
Is affected by identity theft or fraud
Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit. See Q&A below.
Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which could take up to 14 weeks to process
Needs further review in general
We will contact you by mail when we need more information to process your return. https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions
