What to do if you dont get your W2 in February?
It’s a good idea to call the IRS if you don’t receive the W2 by mid-February. In the worst-case scenario, you can fill out Form 4852 and attach it to your tax return. The substitute wage and tax statement allows you to input the same details. A tax extension is another possibility and buys you more time.
