When asked for your W-2 info, enter all the info that should be on your W-2. You can use your pay stubs to estimate your earnings and total taxes paid (federal, state, and local). Because you do not have your actual W-2, you just need to use the best information you have available (pay stubs, bank statements, etc.) to fill out as much of the Form as possible. Write out an explanation of how you figured out you wages and taxes paid (i.e. I used my last pay stub or most recent bank statement). Then describe the steps you look when you tried to get your W-2 from your employer (i.e. I called my employer on (inset date)).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 104.427px\">W-4<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 506.573px\">Employee\u2019s Withholding Allowance Certificate \u2013 Completed by employee so employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay.
