Can I file my 2023 tax return without my W-2 in hand?

You can file with a substitute W-2 but you won't be able to efile. Your return will need to be printed and mailed. And because it's probably too late for you to mail today, you should file an extension. All necessary links are listed below.

 

How do I file a substitute W-2?

File federal extension online here

State extensions can be found here if needed
