Find your W-2 online. File your taxes faster.
Wondering how you can get a copy of your W-2 online? With H&R Block’s free W-2 Early Access℠ service, you can get your W-2 online for free and have an electronic copy sent to your local H&R Block office. All you have to do is pick it up — then get a head start on your taxes.
Earlier access = earlier refund.
W-2 forms are sent out by January 31st of each year (or the next business day if the date falls on a weekend or holiday). But your refund doesn’t have to depend on how quickly your employer mails your W-2. If you want to get your W-2 online, you can request an electronic copy for free with W-2 Early Access, then get started on your taxes with Block.
