When individuals face challenges with receiving their Form W-2, illustrating their earnings and tax withholdings for the year, the Illinois Department of Revenue provides a vital solution through Form IL-4852, a substitute for an unobtainable Form W-2. This form plays a crucial role for employees who have not received their Form W-2 due to various reasons and have exhausted all means to procure it directly from their employers. It is specifically designed for those who need to document their income and Illinois Income Tax withheld to accurately file their IL-1040 tax returns. To utilize Form IL-4852 effectively, individuals must first ensure they have allowed ample time for their employer to furnish the original W-2 and have made all reasonable efforts to obtain it themselves. The process of filing this form requires attaching substantiating documentation, such as pay stubs or a letter from the employer, detailing essential information like the total wages earned and the amount of tax withheld. Notably, this form requires a manual submission alongside the IL-1040 tax return, as electronic filing is not an option in this circumstance. By completing Form IL-4852, taxpayers affirm, under penalty of perjury, the accuracy of the information provided, ensuring they can meet their tax obligations even in the absence of the standard documentation.
