File with Paystubs…Substitute W2s Now Accepted!

Many offices have clients who have been struggling to get official W2s from their employers.  Now that we have hit February 14th the IRS will accept these returns with a substitute W2 form attached (form 4852).  This will allow you to e-file the tax return as long as you have the employers EIN, which can typically be found on your clients last pay stub.  If you have any questions regarding completing and filing form 4852 please contact the support center at (866) 357-2052.
