Seeking W-2s


From: Colfax, WI

Dear TaxMama,

Are there any web sites that let you look at your past W-2 forms? This would be a great help.

Thank you for your help!

Dear Dan,

No there are not.

And be glad!

With all the clever hackers about, you really don't want your life exposed.

However, you can get copies (or at least transcripts) for free from IRS. Simply fill out Form 4506

The recent W-2s will be in your hands before you know it. The older ones take 6-12 weeks.

If you really need them quickly, though, you might get in touch with a good tax pro who does representation. We know a sneaky little secret about how to get IRS to provide recent information like that in about 24-72 hours.

Good luck!

Best wishes
