What can I do if an employer doesn't send out my W-2 form by the end of January?
If an employer does not provide the form to you on time, it is important to request it by sending a request for the document to your company’s office. For you to prove the information in the tax samples, you need to provide the samples together with any supporting documents and a W-2.W-2 Form: Fillable & Printable IRS Template Online | PDFfiller
How do I get my Walmart W2 if I am no longer employed there?
Your W-2 will be mailed to you, to the last known address Wal-Mart has on file for you. If you have moved since you left Wal-Mart’s employ, you should contact Wal-Mart’s corporate HR office to update your mailing address.An employer does not have the option to distribute W-2s to terminated employees electronically in lieu of by mail. While an employer may allow terminated employers continued access to its electronic documentation system in order to access copies of their W-2s electronically, they’re not required to by law; technically, your consent to receive your W-2 in electronic form lapsed when your employment terminated. Most large employers, however, do allow former employees at least limited access to their document system.However, employers are required by law, with regard to each employee who was employed during the prior calendar year, but who is no longer employed by that employer on January 31st, to mail that former employee his or her W-2 or or before January 31st, unless it was actually delivered to the former employee by some other means prior to January 31st.
Do previous employers need to be notified of address change for tax purposes?
You are not legally obliged to notify a prior employer of a change of address, but if you do not they will send the W-2 they are required by law to send you not later than January 31st to your prior address, which you will not receive at your new address unless you still have a mail forwarding order in place.Many employers allow prior employees to continue to have access to their electronic payroll systems for the purpose of obtaining W-2s and similar documents related to employment, and if this is the case you may be able to log into the electronic system your former employer uses for distributing W-2s to obtain your W-2 for your final year of employment.
Can an employer change my filing status for my taxes?
Your employer is a tax moron. You can file your W-4 any way that you please. It does NOT have to reflect your actual marital status and if you are married and your spouse works, it's a good idea to leave it as Single. Your employer is required BY LAW to prepare your paycheck using what you put on your W-4. He may NOT change it unless you give him a new W-4. The ONLY way that he can change it without your express written consent is if the IRS sends him a Lock Letter directing withholding at a level set by the IRS. The only time that that happens is when someone files fraudulent W-4s and can't pay the taxes due by the filing deadline. How much tax is withheld from your pay has NOTHING to do with your employer's cash flow, so he's a financial idiot as well. The money either goes in your paycheck, or to the IRS. If you earn $500 and $100 goes to taxes, you get $400. If $50 goes to taxes, you get $450. Either way your employer coughs up $500. FYI, getting a large refund should NOT be your goal! The goal is to be as close to breaking even as possible. You're looking at the exact same number of dollars in your pocket, the only difference being when you receive them, i.e. on payday or upwards of 16 months later when you file your return. Personally I HATE to get more than pocket change for a refund as it means that the government has had an interest free loan from me.
Filing two W4 forms for two jobs, singe with no dependents?
I’m in college and I just got another job and have to turn in a w4 form. However, that means I’ll be turning in a 2 w4 form in the same year. When the irs receives the two forms, will they assume the recent one is the updated one? Or will they add them up? In the first w4 form for my first job, I claimed 2 allowances. I know that if you have two jobs you should have a about a total of 2 allowances. So for my second w4 form, should I just put 0 and then the IRS is going to add them up? I get higher earnings on my 1st job as of now
Is it illegal to not file a new W-4 with your employer when you move?
Well, the simple answer is no. It’s not illegal to not file a W-4, period. What is illegal is not paying your income taxes as you earn your income - at the very least on a quarterly basis. But filing a W-4 isn’t necessary to pay your income taxes. Your employer uses a Form-941 to do that.You file a W-4 because you want to tell your employer how much of your money that they pay you in your paychecks you would like to have diverted to the federal government to cover that income tax liability. If you don’t file a W-4, your employer will withhold a standard percentage of your income based on factors such as how often you get paid and the fact that you are one person. The W-4 allows you to tweak that calculation and have either more or less extracted from your paychecks and sent to the IRS, based on the size of your household and your personal preferences.Moving has zero effect on the factors in a W-4 form. Things that cause the factors of your W-4 to change are changes in your number of dependents, not changes in your geographic location. So, if you get divorced or have a baby, you might want to update your W-4 with your employer, but moving would be no cause for any change to the document. If you change employers, however, you should probably fill out a new W-4. That is if you want your dependents to be considered in your withholding calculations.

Is it possible for a previous employer to mail a W2 form to an address other than the one submitted on W4?
I had 2 jobs last year. When I was working on job "A" I was living at "Address 1". Then, I got a new job "B" and I moved to "Address 2". This year, I got my W2 form from my current employer (job B). However, I'm having a really bad time trying to convince my previous employer to send my W2 to my new address. Is there any legal way to to request them to mail my W2 to my current address? As I said, I'm not living at the address I submitted in my W-4 on my previous job anymore. You know that W2 forms have very sensitive information (annual wage, SSN, etc), so getting my W2 form at my current address is really important. I already tried calling and sending emails to my previous employer but I haven't received a formal response. They claim that they are working on that and will let me know if it's possible. Any thoughts?
