text: so sorry to hear that your boss is holding you up on filing your taxes.  they (employers) need to follow up on getting a copy of your income to the irs and to you.  so once they figure out the w-2, they keep a copy and send a copy to the irs, and give you a copy.\nfar as i know their responsibility ends there, until they file their own taxes, but that has nothing to do with you.\nhope this helps.\ngood luck
