Question

How can I obtain a copy of my 2007 W2 form's online for free?

Answer 1

The quickest way to obtain a copy of a prior year Form W-2 is through your employer. If that is not possible, you can order and pay for copies of your entire return (attachments include Form W-2) from the IRS, or order W-2 information at no charge from IRS. The IRS can provide W-2 information for up to 10 years. Information for the current year is generally not available until the year after it is filed with the IRS.

Answer 2

I didn't know this was possible generally speaking.  Some large employers may offer this service.  Contact the employer or peruse their website.

Answer 3

You probably can't get them online for free, unless your employer has an online system.  The best way to get copies of your W-2's is to directly contact your employer or former employers.

You can get a copy of the 4560T request for transcript on line at www.irs. gov - click on the "forms" link.  The 2007 W-2's may not be available yet.  You print the 4560T form, fill it out and send it to the IRS.  The IRS will send you a computer printout of the information that they have for your account.  It will not give state or local information from your W-2.

If you want an actual copy of your W-2, you can fill out a 4560T and pay $39 and they will send you an actual copy of the form.  It may be another six month before the 2007 forms are processed.  Remember that we are talking about 300,000,000 to 500,000,000 pieces of paper that the IRS has to keep track of and record and file - so it may take some time to find your pieces of paper in that use pile of forms...

Answer 4

who says they would be online? very few companies do that. just ask your employer for a copy

Answer 5

You'd have to get them from each employer or their respective accountants/payroll companies.
