I got totally screwed last year job wise. 2 of my employers have not reported my tax contributions to the state. I never received a W2 from one of them. TurboTax was able to find all my W2 from the HR companies, but I was unable to access those HR websites for my W2s. Because my contributions weren’t reported to the state I have to get all my W2 (luckily it was in my federal return) and resend them to the state. I hate TurboTax, but I wouldn’t have been able to file my taxes this year without them.

You would have been able to but it'd be a bit painful: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc154 https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc154 The basic process is to: 1. Contact your employer and have them send you a W2 2. If your employer does not send you your W2 by the end of February, contact the IRS and they'll send you a Form 4852 3. If you still haven't received a W2 in time to file taxes, then you can file using the Form 4852 instead 4. If you receive the W2 after filing and the actual numbers differ from your estimates, then you have to file an amended return.

  I’m not doing that under any circumstances. I’d rather get audited

    > I’m not doing that under any circumstances. I’d rather get audited I’ve run into issues with the IRS over incorrect filings. I am not a tax attorney or an accounting professional, but I strongly advise you to rethink your position. Under no circumstances do you want to get audited by the IRS instead of complying with the Federal Tax Code. Once the IRS begins its investigation, you will be obligated to pay the costs of complying with their requests, which costs may very well dwarf the costs of complying in the first place.

      I don’t have any money. I literally lost everything I have accrued in my life in the last 18 months. That fact that I’m not at bankruptcy door is because of what little stimulus we got. So no, I’m too exhausted to deal with the IRS. If they care, they can serve me and drag me to court because I won’t comply at all.
