You Can Find Your W-2s Online

If you are an actor, you may have trouble getting your W-2s at the end of the year, there is hope.
You worked several jobs last year. Then you’ve moved, and your forwarding address expired. Now you have to file your tax return. You tried calling payroll services to find your W-2s, but you are afraid you missed some. What are you to do?
Go onto the Franchise Tax Board site at or about March 15. There you will find California wage and withholding information as filed by employers. If you go on in January or February, employers may not have filed their information, yet. So, it may be beneficial for you to wait to file your tax return if you are insecure about the information you provide your tax preparer.
This safeguard does not provide wages information filed by other states if your performed your services outside of California.
