no. i'm a tax preparer and since we use equifax, TAX preparers can DOWNLOAD w2s via equifax. As long as we have an import code. Like literally all we need is your social and the import code to IMPORT the w2. It's something tax preparers have access to. Usually its in box e of w2s. That's how we can download them before its mailed to you. like walmart had released their w2s for download early.
but if your wanting to see an estimate of how much you want to get back, bring your last check stub of 2015 to a tax preparer and we can tell you on estimate how much you would get back for the year. Including any EIC, Child tax, School Credits.... etc. :)
The import code is on your W2 around the box where your home address is located. Should say "Import Code : (CODE HERE)". I used the import code to transfer everything into the tax software I use.

i understand your issue i am having the same one. WILL ANYONE PLEASE HELP US. ANY CURRENT EMPLOYEE JUST GIVE US THE CODE I BEEN FIGHTING FOR MONTHS TO GET MY W2 WITHOUT SUCCESS
i worked for Kroger last year. i have not gotten my tax forms and i need to file. i need that code and i am being run in circles to get it. i have bills piling up and no way to get what i need but to file taxes. Anyone please i am begging you just post the CURRENT import code so i can file my taxes for the year.
The code seems to be 2PEC8838 not 2pec8838. It needs to be capitalized! This is our third year of nightmares trying to get our W2 from Kroger, may they rot in hell.
Bad news: the code above seems like it's trying to work but fails in TurboTax. Good news: I actually got my proper W-2 today and I'll share the real code for 2018: 4YEVMBGM (This is 100% confirmed to work in TurboTax.)
