Question

Does Lacerte have a w-2 finder? My client's son's employer won't give him one. I see that turbo tax and HR Block have this service.

"My client's son's employer won't give him one."

Meaning they won't give him a duplicate?

Or they treated him as an independent contractor and gave him a 1099?

Or they did this under the table and gave him nothing?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

He never received the first W-2 because of where he was remotely, and will not send him a duplicate.

Have the son request a Wage and Income Transcript from IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

I think the TT and HRB services are tied only to W2 through primary prepares like ADP by looking up the W2 by using the SSN for the client.

Tell the son's employer that you will be calling the IRS to get the W2, assuming it was reported.
