My last employer went out of business and my last paycheck bounced. What should I record on my w-2?
Beka asked:
After the check bounced, they then declared bankruptcy writing off my last paycheck. I still have my last stub. What if I don't get my w-2 from them? Also, should my last check that I never received be recorded on that w-2?

You should still wait for W-2.
Employers/companies must mail W2 or 1099 by Feb 2, 2010. If you do not receive it by Feb 15, then you can call IRS. 1-800-829-1040. You can also check with IRS about your last paycheck
If you file based on last pay slip or do not report any income, you may have to file amended tax return Form 1040X if there is any different figure in W2 or 1099 or you do not report all your income. You will also pay interest and penalty.
hey this is not a comment, i actually have a question. i worked for this company, and they ended up going bankruptcy, i never received my two last paychecks. I wanna know since this all happen in 2008 is too late to do anything about it?
