What if my employer does not provide W-2 forms via W-2 eXpress?

If an employer does not provide W-2 forms through W-2 eXpress, employees have a few options. First, it is important to clarify with the employer how they plan to distribute W-2 forms. Some employers may choose to deliver them through traditional mail or other electronic means not associated with W-2 eXpress. Employees may want to check with their human resources or payroll department for specific details about how and when their W-2 forms will be made available. Employers are required by law to provide W-2 forms to their employees by January 31 of each year, so it is reasonable to expect to receive the form by that date. In the event that an employee does not receive their W-2 form by mid-February, they can take additional steps. This might include reaching out to the Internal Revenue Service for guidance on how to proceed. The IRS may also provide an alternative means for filing taxes in the absence of a W-2 form.
