What to Do If You're Missing W-2 or 1099 Forms
Tax Filing Prep & Deadline Resources
Key Insights
Missing a W-2 or 1099 form can delay your tax filing and create unnecessary stress—but it's a problem that can be solved.
At our tax relief company, we help clients resolve these issues quickly and accurately to stay compliant with the IRS.
If you're missing a W-2, contact your employer first.
Most companies can resend it or give you an electronic copy.
If that doesn't work, you can request a copy or wage transcript directly from the IRS using Form 4506 or through the IRS Get Transcript tool.
For missing 1099s, reach out to the payer (client, bank, or brokerage) for a copy.
If tax deadlines are approaching, you can still file your return using estimated income, but it's critical to get the numbers right to avoid penalties.
We help clients confirm their income through bank records, previous paystubs, and IRS transcripts, ensuring an accurate return even without the original forms.
Our Tax Relief Resource Center is a free resource for those seeking tax relief. It provides comprehensive guides and resources to help you understand your tax relief options. When you're ready, we'll help you start the tax relief process.
