An employer is
REQUIRED to give you a completed Form W-2 for the calendar year by January
31 of the next year. (Example: A 2007 Form W-2 must be delivered to you by
January 31, 2008). The employer may choose to deliver the completed W-2 in
a manner other than postal mail. For example, employers may send W-2 forms
to employees by e-mail.
If you do NOT
receive a Form W-2 by February 15, contact the employer and ask for it. If
this does not work, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
