You cannot add a 2022 W-2 to a 2023 tax return.  You need to add it to your 2022 return by amending 2022.   If you have now lost the W-2, ask the employer for another copy.  W-2's come from employers--so getting it from the employer is always the best bet.   Otherwise you can try some other things that will entail more of a hassle and perhaps paying.

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

Pay Social Security $126 per W-2:

 Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.
