    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 12. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iOS 14+ and works on all iPhones running iOS 15 or later.

  2. 2

    Scan your W-2 Form with iPhone 12

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 12 about 12 inches above the W-2 Form and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 12's Night mode can help when scanning documents in low-light environments. If the auto-capture doesn't trigger, tap the shutter button manually after positioning the document.

    Add a confidentiality cover page

    Since W-2 Forms contain sensitive information protected under IRS, add a cover page with a confidentiality notice. TigerFax includes built-in cover page templates.
