My employer hasn't sent my W-2. What do I do?+
Employers must mail W-2s by January 31. If you haven't received it by mid-February, contact your employer first. If they don't respond, contact the IRS at 800-829-1040 — they can compel the employer to issue. You can also use Form 4852 (Substitute W-2) with your last pay stub if absolutely necessary.
I changed jobs mid-year. Do I file with both W-2s?+
Yes — every employer that paid you in the tax year sends a W-2. All of them go on your return. We combine the wages, withholding, and Social Security/Medicare totals from all W-2s onto your Form 1040.
Will I get my Ohio refund and federal refund at the same time?+
No, they're processed separately. Federal IRS refunds via direct deposit typically arrive within 14–21 days of e-file acceptance. Ohio Department of Taxation refunds usually take 2–4 weeks. You can check the status of each at irs.gov/refunds and tax.ohio.gov.
