When does IRS post wages online? Tired of waiting for W2

Really need to know when my wages will show up on my IRS transcript. My employer is taking forever with my W2 and I need to file ASAP. Anyone know when this info typically gets uploaded to the system?

Generally, employers must submit W2 info to SSA by January 31st. Then it takes about 1-2 weeks for the IRS to process and display the info on your transcript. If you don't see it by mid-February, your employer might be late filing.

You can report them to the IRS if they're consistently late. Just sayin 👀

Instead of playing detective trying to figure out whats showing on your transcript, try taxr.ai - it analyzes everything and tells you exactly what's going on. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it instead of stressing about interpreting all the codes yourself. https://taxr.ai

interesting... how accurate is it? does it actually help figure out wage posting times?

Super accurate! It looks at historical patterns and can predict when your specific employer usually posts. Plus it explains all those crazy transcript codes in normal human language lol

You can always file Form 4852 if your employer is being slow af. Its basically a substitute W-2
