I suspect you mean a W-2, as you use a W-4 to provide withholding information to your employer.
Actually, you don't need a w-2 to file, since your company sends a computed copy to the IRS. But you do need to know your income, withholdings, etc. All of which may be available someplace else (as in your last pay stub).
You never really need a W-2, or 1099 (or any form) from someone else to file your taxes....in fact, whether someone sends you one, or not, if you have income you MUST file your taxes. However, it is best to wait to file until you have received your w-2 in order to be certain that all was reported correctly. Companies are only required to mail them by January 31. In addition, Congress has not yet approved the tax tables, so early filing will just put you on the incoming stack until they do, estimated to be mid-February.

How do you fill out your income tax form so that you get the most money taken out of your check and have the least money owed when you file your taxes?
If you work for an employer and receive a W2 at the end of the year, you need to adjust your W4 (that is the form you should have filed out before you were employed). You need to put that you are SINGLE where the choices are married or single. The number of allowences you should report is 0. This will put you at the maximum withholding rate. You may also elect to have an extra amount of money withheld from your pay each pay period. This would be a set dollar amount (that you decide) also reported to your employer on a W4. There is a W4 pdf on the IRS website that will allow you to make the correct entries, and print the completed form. You will then need to turn that form into your empoyer so your payroll files can be adjusted accordingly.
