    And just how is this done?
    First I've heard of it.
    Mystified me too, based on the reference to "substitute W-2." Looked up the 4852 Substitute W-2 & seems unchanged for 2 years, so nothing new. Maybe the intended reference was to the Form 8919 Uncollected SS & Medicare?

      Haven't come across many of these. When it happens, I educate my client regarding the rules for designating a worker as either an IC or an employee and let them handle it with their employer/customer. If my client is the business, I jump right on that issue first thing and straighten them out. Refusal to comply is the #1 reason I will turn away a client or fire them. In this economy, I have to agree with Snags. Not a good thing to come between a worker and his or her pay right now.

      Perhaps some of the more eager enforcers can find off season work by filling out fraud reports for fun and profit.

        Yes, the 4852 indeed is unchanged since Jan 07, but to my chagrin, I notice on line...
        4? is it? an affirmation that "I have notified IRS of this ."

          Yeah, you're right --- line 4.

          Language not new -- I looked at one from '05 and that wording is there. The 4852 instructions gloss over it with this gentle suggestion:

          "After February 14, you may call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 if you still have not received Form W-2."

          Does filing the 4852 constitute notification?

            I received a bulletin from the IRS addressing this issue. I will have to research my emails for it. Or, as Sarah would say...I'll have to get back to you on that. taxea
            Believe nothing you have not personally researched and verified.
