Check your employer’s payroll or HR portal
Look for a “Tax Forms,” “W-2,” or “Year-End Documents” section
Log in using your employee credentials
Download or print your W-2 if it is available online
Contact your HR or payroll department if you cannot find it
Confirm your mailing address is correct if you want a paper copy
Wait for your employer to issue it by the required deadline
Request a duplicate W-2 if the original was lost or not received
Contact the IRS if you still cannot get it from your employer
Use IRS Form 4506-T or Form 4852 if needed
