When people legitimately need a W-2 copy

Lawful use only. PaystubWiz creates documents from the figures you enter, for legitimate record-keeping — self-employed income records, replacing lost payroll paperwork, or issuing statements to your own employees. Creating documents with false information to obtain housing, credit or anything of value is fraud and is prohibited by our terms.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official W-2 filing?
No. Official W-2s are filed with the Social Security Administration by employers (SSA Business Services Online, or through payroll software). This tool produces a records copy that restates wage figures in the familiar W-2 layout — useful for personal files, loan paperwork checklists, or reconstructing lost documents with true figures.
What if I lost my W-2 — isn't this the fastest fix?
For filing taxes, the IRS can send a Wage and Income Transcript (free) showing W-2 data reported for you, and employers must reissue copies on request. This tool is the fast option for your own records while you wait — enter the true figures from your final pay stub of the year.
Which boxes auto-calculate?
Boxes 3-6. Social Security wages and Medicare wages default to Box 1, with tax at 6.2% and 1.45% respectively — correct for most ordinary employment. If your situation differs (401k deferrals change Box 1 but not Box 3, wages above the SS cap, etc.), this simplified layout may not fit; consult your accountant.

Is my SSN safe?
It never leaves your browser — the form renders locally and we have no database of your entries. Print or save the PDF and clear your browser data if you're on a shared computer.
