By law, your W-2 was supposed to be postmarked by January 31st and received by February 15th. Since that date has already past, you need to contact the IRS representative who can initiate a Form W-2 complaint for you.

A letter will be sent to the employer requesting that they furnish a corrected Form W-2 to you within ten days. The letter advises the employer of their responsibilities to provide a correct Form W-2 and of the penalties for failure to do so.

You can reach the IRS by calling 800-829-1040. When you call and inform them of your need to file a complaint, you will need the following information:

*Your employer's name and complete address, including zip code, employer identification number (if known - see prior year's Form W-2 (PDF) if you worked for the same employer), and telephone number,
*Your name, address, including zip code, social security number, and telephone number; and
*An estimate of the wages you earned, the federal income tax withheld, and the period you worked for that employer. The estimate should be based on year-to-date information from your final pay stub or leave-and-earnings statement, if possible.
