Had a brief stint at the Alamo Drafthouse earlier this year. They wouldn't make me a server so I got another job and no called/no showed at the Alamo. I only worked there for a couple months and didn't make much money. I don't want to talk to anyone in person. Can I just file with the W2 from my current job and pretend I didn't work here?

Uh you're basically committing tax fraud if you don't report your income. Go get your W2.

"I don't want to talk to anyone"

Uh, too bad? Call them and ask for your W2.

Ain't nobody going to remember or even cared that you no call no showed. Go be an adult and handle your business. They aren't going to yell at you

By law, the Alamo Drafthouse has to mail you your W2 by January 31st (or provide it in some obvious way). It's not your responsibility to get W2s from your employers, it's their responsibility to get it to you.

I'd give it a week, it could be in the mail. They have to send it out by Jan 31, but... they might also send it via pony express so it could take a while.

Doesn't matter, fuck 'em. They have to provide it to you by law. You could have taken a shit on your manager's shoes and your manager has to smile when he hands you the W2.

That said...

If you made very little money, you probably have no tax liability / refund from work there... and the IRS probably doesn't care.... but, w/e. It's best to do the right thing.

They may not be late. W2s are required to be postmarked by the 31st of January or the following Monday if it falls on a weekend. Wait a week for it.

Be a grown up, call and find out how to get ahold of payroll, call their payroll people and get your W2. They're required by law to send you one.

sure, you can definitely do that.

Then you will get a nice letter in 6-8 months asking you to pay something if you owed it plus interest and penalties

Realistically, if OP isn't making a lot of money (working as a server at the Alamo Drafthouse...) he probably has no tax liability from that job. He may be missing out on like $10 more of a refund, and the IRS might be like "Well, good, $10 for The Wall."

Or OP will get an assessment, and he'll probably no call no show the check, and then go into arrears and be thrown into debtors prison.

You don't need to call the Drafthouse if it never shows. You can call the IRS later.
