Some of us have opportunities to work as either a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor (or even to be self-employed as a small business owner). In the past, it was usually a better tax choice to be a W-2 employee than to be self-employed, because employees paid slightly lower taxes on equivalent pay.
How do you look up W2?Many tax preparation software packages allow you to look up your W2 form online by providing the name of your employer, your name and your Social Security number. If your employer has already filed your W2, you can look it up online this way and start filing your taxes right away, without waiting for the paper form to arrive in your mailbox.
Who should get a W2?According to the IRS, a company must send you a W-2 by Jan. 31 of the year following the year in which you earned income. For example, if you worked for a company in 2018, that company has to send it to you by Jan. 31, 2019.
