😱Lost your W-2? Don’t panic.
Here’s what to do:
1. Check your old email or employee portal (ADP, Paychex, etc.)
2. Contact your old employer’s HR or payroll department
3. If the company is closed, you can:
• Create an account at irs.gov and get your wage transcript
• Or call the IRS to request it
You don’t have to guess or skip filing.
