is it legal for a future employer to ask for a w2 from the prior year?

Yes it is. They ask it so that they can decide what kind of salary to give you. My husband works in the semiconductor industry (companies like motorola, intel, samsung, etc) and for the last 2 companies that he worked for, he was asked to give w2 forms from the previous year.

By law your employer should of had your W2 to you by Feb. 1.\n\nContact your boss, or Human Resource center.  They will get on it immediately believe me. \n\nAlso if you have not filed and you are looking for forms go to you local post office they will have them.

If you live in Florida you would start by filling out a application known as a 1003. Then you would be asked for two years of w-2's, one month of pay stubs, bank statement. The 1003 form will have your personal info on it like ss#, dob, address if you have any assets etc. hope this helps you.

None, the W-2 and W-4 are IRS forms and standard for every state, since the IRS is a Federal Agency.

You will not get a W-2 but instead you will get a form SSA-1099. This form will give you all the information you need from them for income tax purposes. You should have it any day or before the end of January.

Generally have to wait for your employer to send you your w-2 which shows the amount of income and amount of taxes paid for the year. They are required by lay to have them to you by the 31st of Janurary. If you have any interest earning accounts , they also have to send a 1099 form showing your yearly interest earned. It is best to wait until you have all your info so you don't have to amend your taxes after you have filed them.

You don't say when are where you worked there. Companies are only required to keep records for a limited period of time. The best way to prove you worked somewhere is to keep copies of your tax returns and W2's. Keep them forever!

contact the IRS.  By law your previous employer needs to keep their copy of the W2s on record for 7 years.  it is THEIR responsibility to make certain that you received it.

Yes, they'll send you a tax form for filing your tax return.  I think it's W2-G.\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc419.html

i think you can file using a substitute w2 form but to be 100% sure you can call the IRS help line found in the 1040 instruction booklet.

You can do it either way. You can print it off the IRS web site or your employer can get you a new one. Don't stress if you are a Little late in turning it in. The have to withhold at the highest tax rate until you fill out the  4-w telling them otherwise

Well if your still emloyeed with the company that sent you the W-2 you have to update the address with them.\n\nIt doesn't matter otherwise what the address on the W-2 is.  Your going to have to put your correct address on the tax form anywise.
