Last summer I worked for a daycare who was in business for 4 months. They went out of business and it is past April 15th and we haven't received our W2s yet. What should we do? I have sent them numerous letters. The husband of the owner would talk to me after some of my letters were read but now they don't even respond. He told me that we would have them by April 15th especially since we didn't have them by January 31st. Once he told us that he and his wife owed the payroll company they were using and the company wouldn't release the W2s until they paid what they owed. Please advise me on what I should do.


I would contact your state's attorney generals office and report this. That is illegal they have until the end of January to get those out to employees, present or ex. That is a big no no. Also, I would contact the IRS and report them also, this means they have to be doing some tax evasion or something like that.

Do as Steelers says and contact the IRS. There is a form that you can use for when you dont get w-2. They can give you the name of the form. KYSIDE38

Steelers is right, big no no. W-2s and 1099s are supposed to be in the payees hands by 1/31; the payor is supposed to file the red copy with IRS by 2/28.

You should definitely call the IRS and ask them what to do. If you don't, they may throw you in the mix too for not reporting that income.

I know they assess fines for late filings. I had about 4 1099s I needed to send out this year. I thought the deadline to get it to IRS was 3/15 but really it was 2/28. They fined me $15 per form under 30 days late, and the fines double after 30 days, and again I think after 60.

Definately, definately call the IRS on this one. If they have to send a request for the W-2's, you are exactly right--the business will be fined per each request. Now for the bad news. This doesn't relieve the taxpayer from the obligation to file their return or a request for an extension, on time.
If you still don't have the form, download a sample W2 form from the IRS website, and mark it estimated W2, and send it in. I would also include a copy of the form you filled out asking the IRS to go after the W2.
