Getting a copy of your W-2 can be important for tax purposes. You can usually obtain it directly from your employer, as they are required to provide it by the end of January. Alternatively, you can access it through your company's payroll portal if available. If you're unable to obtain it from your employer, you can request a copy from the IRS by filling out Form 4506-T. Have you tried contacting your employer yet, or is there something else you're concerned about in the process?
