• Is it on a transcript?

    From Stuart O. Bronstein@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 20 21:43:13 2022
    Someone failed to file returns for a number of years, and lost the
    1099s and W-2s sent during that time. Is it possible to get that
    information from the IRS? It doesn't look like a transcript would have anything that's not on a return. So if a return is not filed, what
    then?

    Thanks.

    There are different kinds of IRS transcripts. The W-2 and
    1099 information is on a Wage and Income Transcript, not on
    a Tax Return Transcript. But the Wage and Income Transcript
    does not include the state information, such as state tax
    withheld or, on a W-2, state wages.

    You can get complete copies of the W-2s from the Social
    Security Administration, but you have to pay for them if you
    are not requesting them for a Social Security-related
    reason. Go to the following link on the Social Security web
    site for details.
