Yes, you can complete the tax return for a prior year with the IRS W-2 transcript. Keep in mind that the IRS does not store state information so that will not be present on the transcript. You may need to file a Form 4852 with your state if you have information that provides the state withholding information, if applicable.
You should send a copy of the IRS transcripts with your tax return when you mail it to the IRS.
