Nice to meet you.
My husband was a researcher at a university on a J visa until Fall 2019 ～ Summer 2020.

Last year （ 2020 ） we filed our 2019 tax return （ Federal and State ） in the US,
how should we do for 2020 tax return?

Last year I received my W2 form in the mail from the university, but I have not received it this year as of now.
Should I contact the university?

Thank you very much.

If you are returning after 2 years on a J visa, you can file the same form as last year.

If you are a J visa holder for up to 2 years, you must file a 1040 － NR.

In addition, J visa holders who are researchers will usually receive a 1042 － S
form from the university instead of a W － 2 form. In any case, please check with the university and file the
last year's form.
