Is it possible to file your taxes without a W2?

You may want to get your taxes done as quickly as possible, especially if you’re anticipating a big refund. But maybe your employer is dragging their heels and hasn’t sent out W2s yet. Although, technically, you should do everything you can to get a copy of your W2 before you complete your tax return, it is possible to file your taxes without a W2.

Where do I Send my W-2 tax forms?

Send Copy 1, if applicable, to your state, city, or local tax department. Contact that state, city, or local tax department for requirements and transmittal information. You should retain the employer copy, Copy D, for 4 years. You must furnish Copies B, C, and 2 of Form W-2 to your employees by February 1, 2021.

When does the IRS match your W-2 to your tax return?

However, beginning with the 2017 tax year, the way the IRS matches your W-2 to your tax return has changed. The IRS does match refunds with income statements like W-2s. This upfront matching is intended to reduce instances of refund fraud.
