Do I need an accountant to file my W2 even if i just moved in recently to the US?

It's quite simple to file with only one W2 but since you are from out the country, the lingo of the IRS may be scary. I would recommend an accountant until you have a good understanding of the taxes in this country.

contact the IRS.  By law your previous employer needs to keep their copy of the W2s on record for 7 years.  it is THEIR responsibility to make certain that you received it.

At the end of the year, if you paid him/her $600 or more, then you need to fill out and give him/her and the IRS a 1099-MISC form.  These are not too difficult to fill out, and you need not concern yourself with withholdings or FUTA or anything of the sort since they are a contractor and not an employee.  On the 1099-MISC form, you need to fill in their SSN or EIN (whichever they wish to provide).  Anytime you need an identification number to file a form with the IRS, you also need them to fill out and submit to you a completed W-9.  You really don't NEED the W-9 before they start working for you, but I'd get them to fill it out ASAP.  Remember, if you pay them less than $600, then you don't need to send a 1099-MISC nor get a W-9.  Just because you pay them less than $600 doesn't mean they don't have to claim the income, nor does it mean you can't write off the expense.  It just means you don't need the W-9 / 1099-MISC forms filled out.

No, you only have to attach W2s and 1099-Rs if income tax was witheld.

you will need to contact the company(s) that you received W2's from that year and "ask nicely" if they can make a photo copy for you. Keep in mind they are not required to do so but if you are polite they may search their records and make a copy for you. Good luck

You should consult a tax professional in NZ for the specifics.  I would assume that if you pay all the taxes due in the US, you shouldn't have to pay anything over there.  INCOME tax should be paid where you make the income, which is a business in the states.  NZ shouldn't be able to tough it.

You can file now, but I'd suggest waiting until you get a corrected w-2 from your employer (talk to HR).\n\nI worked for the IRS last year, and it takes them roughly 10 months until the computers get around to checking whether the income/withholding on W-2s provided by employers matches up with the returns filed.

No, the move has to be incident to changing jobs.  It does not matter what kind of job you are changing from or why.  The job change can be for either or both of you.  Go to the IRS website and search forms and publications for Moving Expenses.

You should recieve a 1099G in the mail. Just like a W-2

None, the W-2 and W-4 are IRS forms and standard for every state, since the IRS is a Federal Agency.

You don't need to send in a copy of the 1099-INT.  The only sheets you are required to attach are W-2s, and any 1099-Rs (retirement, IRA, pension withdrawals) that had any federal tax withheld

Employers are required by law to issue you a W2 by January 31st. Please be patient and wait until then before bugging the company. (I'm pretty sure they are busy trying to get these out.)\n\nAfter Jan 31st, try contacting the HR or payroll department.\n\nWilliam Perez\ntaxes.about.com

It maybe hard for you because there are number of accountants in the US already. If they bring you they'll have to get you a work lisence and major companies try saving as much as possible. What you should do is go to the embassy and get as much info as you can and maybe come on a work permit or visitor then aquire a work permit while here.

You need to file a 1040X with the correct(ed) forms.  You can download the forms or order them from IRS.gov .

You can do it either way. You can print it off the IRS web site or your employer can get you a new one. Don't stress if you are a Little late in turning it in. The have to withhold at the highest tax rate until you fill out the  4-w telling them otherwise

They were legally obligated to at least mail out your W2 by yesterday (1/31).  If they did not, you may need to contact the IRS to see what it is that you can do to estimate the earnings for your own tax return.\n\nYou could also contact the restaurant or the owners to see how you can get it.
