- 1). Contact your employer's human resources department to find out if your W-2 form will be available online. This will most likely be in the employee section of the employer's website, or the employer will have made the W-2 forms available through a website that provides that service.
- 2). Follow the instructions provided by your HR department for retrieving your W-2 from your employer's website, or access the website where the employer's W-2 forms are available, using the employer's identification number or password provided by the HR department.
- 3). Visit W-2 Express or Rapid Tax if you are not sure whether your W-2 form is available online (see References). Create an account with the site or find the "search for employer" link. Some sites require you to set up an account first, while others will allow you to check and see if your employer is listed there before you create an account.
- 4). Enter the identification number or name of your employer and your secure, personal identifying information. This may include such things as the gross amount of your last paycheck, your social security number and your date of birth.
- 5). Follow the links to your W-2, review the form and print it out.
