Missing W2, and using last paystub; any idea how to file in basic proseries which we do not have access to form 4852?

Hello,

Any suggestions how to report wages off the paystub (missing W2) while using basic Proseries? Apparently, limitations on form on basic.

Thank you,

ProSeries Basic

I agree. If the W-2 is merely "missing", it needs to be found or get a replacement copy. If the employer refused to file one or the employee finds it impossible to get it, then 4852 should be used.

Download the form, prepare manually, scan and attach? (If basic allows attachments)

Form 4852 shows as available in Basic, you cant Efile with a 4852 though.

My understanding is that you should still be able to e-file a return with F.4852 but the EIN must be included. It is allowed in the Schema and that's how it works with other tax products.

If the taxpayer had a prior year W-2, he/she should be able to retrieve the EINs for federal and state.

Have they tried contacting the employer and/or payroll company to get a copy? Has it perhaps been posted and available in the IRS transcript system (I know its early)?

The more I know the more I don’t know.
