Form 4852 in lieu of W-2

[neilbrink]

Can we efile if we have a form 4852 instead of a W-2?

[David1980]

Sure. Details are in Pub 1345. Note that you will need the EIN to efile.

If the taxpayer is unable to secure and provide

a correct Form W-2, W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings, or 1099-R, Distributions

from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts,

etc., the ERO may electronically file the return after the taxpayer completes Form

4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement or 1099-R, Distributions from

Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc.,

in accordance with the use of that form. If Form 4852 is used, the non-standard W-2

indicator must be included in the record, and the ERO must maintain Form 4852 in

the same manner required for Forms W-2, W-2G and 1099-R.
