filed a federal tax return and do not have any documents to show that I worked. What should I do?

ANSWER: If your former employer cannot provide the information, you should request a copy of your

Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation, from the IRS for the year you worked. There are several options to obtain this information: download Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, from www.irs.gov, call 1-800-829-1040, or visit the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center near you. Once you receive all of the forms, you can take advantage of one of the free resources to file your return.

2. QUESTION: How do I get a copy of a tax return I previously filed?

ANSWER: There are several options. The IRS can provide a tax return transcript for many returns free

of charge. The transcript provides most of the line entries from the original tax return and usually contains the information that a third party (such as a mortgage company) requires. To request a transcript online, go to www.irs.gov, Keyword, "Transcript". To order by phone, call 1-800-908-9946 and follow the prompts in the recorded message. To order by mail or fax, use Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return.

in your income unless specifically exempted by law. Income that is taxable must be reported on your return and is subject to tax even if your employer does not provide you with tax documents, such as a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. See Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income, for more information.

6. QUESTION: My employer is not withholding income taxes from my wages. What should I do?

ANSWER: If no income tax is withheld from your wages, you may owe tax at the end of the year, or risk

owing penalties for paying too little tax upfront. If you submitted a Form W-4,Employee's Withholding Certificate, when you started working, your employer should be using the information from this form to determine the amount of federal income tax to withhold from your pay. You should use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator on www.irs.gov to help you figure out the amount you should be having withheld and see if you need to submit a new Form W-4 to your employer. Visit www.irs.gov or call 1-800-829-3676 to get a copy of Form W-4.

If the business you do work for did not ask you to complete a Form W-4, Employee's
