Check your employer’s payroll or HR portal
Log in to your employee self-service account
Look for “Tax Forms,” “W-2,” or “Year-End Documents”
Use the payroll provider’s website if your employer uses one
Contact your employer’s HR or payroll department
Ask if your W-2 is available through an online tax form portal
Check your email for a W-2 delivery notice or portal link
Verify your mailing address and account access if you cannot find it
If needed, request a reissued or electronic copy from your employer
If your employer is no longer available, contact the IRS for help after the filing deadline
