Worked for More Than One Gusto Employer?
Each employer has its own profile in Gusto. Switch between your profiles to find the W-2 from each company.
W-2 Missing or Wrong?
- Missing: contact your employer. Gusto files W-2s for employees who got taxable wages if the company is still active with Gusto, or if it chose to file when it closed its account.
- Wrong: ask your employer to correct it. They start the correction in Gusto.
- Still nothing by the end of February: call the IRS at 800-829-1040. See missing W-2 help.
