How can I get a copy of previous years w-4′s

A) There are a few ways to get a copy of your previous years W-4s.

• Contact your employer. Your employer is required to keep your W-4s on file for at least four years. You can contact your employer’s human resources department to request a copy of your W-4s.
• Get a wage and income transcript from the IRS. You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS for free. This transcript will show you all of the W-2s that you have received for the past 10 years. You can get a wage and income transcript online, by mail, or by phone.
• Use a tax preparation software program. Many tax preparation software programs will allow you to import your W-4s from previous years. This can be a convenient way to get a copy of your W-4s if you don’t have them in paper form.

If you have any questions about getting a copy of your W-4s, you can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

Again please contact your employer for a copy of your signed W4 “Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate”
