Log in to your employer’s payroll or HR portal
Look for “Tax Forms,” “W-2,” or “Year-End Documents”
Download or print your W-2 if it is available
Check with your employer’s HR or payroll department if you cannot find it online
Ask whether they use a third-party provider such as ADP, Workday, Paychex, or UKG
Create or reset your account on the payroll provider’s website if needed
Verify your mailing address and email are current in the system
Wait until your employer has issued the W-2 for the tax year
Contact the IRS if you still cannot get a copy after contacting your employer
Request a wage and income transcript from the IRS if needed
