Here's when the 2026 tax season will open, and other filing information you need to know as tax season approaches. At the least, you will need a copy of your 2025 W-2 to begin the process of filing income taxes. Depending on your tax circumstances, the IRS may require yo to submit additional documentation . According to the IRS and Social Security Administration , your employee must provide you with a copy of your W-2 form by Monday, Feb. 2 2026. Personal finance resource NerdWallet suggests several steps to take if you your W-2 is late or missing.
"If you're well into February and there's still no W-2 in your email or mailbox, it's time to touch base with your company's payroll or human resources department," NerdWallet advised on its website. "Your employer might have the wrong address for you and your W-2 may have bounced back as undeliverable. In that case, correcting your address and asking your employer to reissue the document can solve the problem.
"If your efforts to get a copy from your employer have proved fruitless, it's time to get the IRS involved. Call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1040 or visit a local taxpayer assistance center."
