Tax season can be stressful, particularly if you’re not carrying the most important document, such as your W-2. If you’re no longer employed at Dollar Tree, you might wonder how to get your Form W-2 to complete your taxes promptly.
Here’s a brief overview of the two ways Dollar Tree offers for former employees to get their W-2s:
Electronic Delivery (If You Previously Opted-In)
Dollar Tree utilizes a third-party vendor, National Payment Company, for the electronic delivery of W-2s. This option requires prior registration at the time of work.
- Ensure you check your email: If you’ve previously subscribed to electronic W-2s, you should receive an email from the National Payment Company once your W-2 is ready to download.
Notification: The deadline to sign up for electronic W-2 delivery usually falls around the beginning of January.
Paper W-2 Delivery (Standard Method)
If you still need to select electronic delivery or miss the enrollment deadline, Dollar Tree will mail your W-2 to the address listed on your file.
- Delivery timeframe: Papier W-2s can typically be sent out by the end of January.
- Change of Address: Ensure Dollar Tree has your current address to ensure you don’t get delayed. You could change your address using the associate data portal (if it is still available) or contact Dollar Tree’s Payroll Department.
Didn’t Receive Your W-2? Here’s What to Do
- Get in touch with Dollar Tree’s Payroll department. They will verify your address on file and investigate any delivery issues. Contact information is available on the Dollar Tree website or your previous paychecks.
- Contact the IRS: If you’ve exhausted every option with Dollar Tree and haven’t received your W-2 before mid-February, you may request a duplicate copy of the document from the IRS. There are specific guidelines for seeking a W-2 from the IRS; you should be sure to check their website for more information.
Following these steps, you can find your W-2 at Dollar Tree and file your taxes on time. Taking action quickly if you don’t receive your W-2 within the anticipated date is always advisable.
