so tax season came and went and I was unable to file because I didn't get w-2's back from a place i used to work at. I quit cuz the dude was a dumb asshole, but anyhow, i was wondering about his legal obligation to send me a w-2. I'm going to contact him and i want to know wether i can threaten him with legal action to help put him in his place. any finance majors know about this? i feel like it would make sense that he is legally obligated to send them to me, but i just want to be sure.
 
well i quit without notice so i'm not exactly on good terms with him, so i sent him a couple different emails and he just ignores them so I'm gonna go up in there and I want to be sure he doesn't give me any shit thats all. obviously i'm going to have to ask him to get them so yeah.
 
ooo that spawns another question. what if I didn't? are they gonna charge me money if i file late even if I don't end up owing them money? i thought they only charged you if you had to pay them and not vice versa?
 
Your employer is required by law to furnish your w-2 by January 31st.
"If you do not receive the missing or corrected form by February 14th from your employer/payer, you may call the IRS at 800–829–1040 for assistance. You must provide your name, address (including zip code), phone number, Social Security Number, dates of employment,your employer/payer's name, address (including zip code), and phone number. The IRS will contact the employer/payer for you and request the missing form. IRS will also send you a Form 4852 (PDF), Substitute for Form W-2 or Form 1099-R."
How old are you? How much money did you make? Are you claimed as a dependent? Do you have any dependents? What is your filing status? Are you a student? Where do you live?
Since you haven't contacted the IRS, and you didn't file an extension, you might want to hire an accountant at this point. Unless you feel comfortable filing the forms, etc. yourself....

 
i'm 21, i file as single, i am a student but i have no loans or gov. money out on my education, i live in maine, i made under 2 grand at this particular job, for you year probably under 5 grand. thanks for that info though i'll get on it. hope its not too late though.
 
As a single person under the age of 65, you are not required to file a return if your gross income was less than 9,350. (There are a few exceptions to this rule, but I would guess that they don't apply to you.)
