How can I get a W-2 if I am not employed by them. I was employed with a different company. This was not a business endeavor but was commissions due from sales when I was employed by them.
Even though you were not an "active" employee, the commission should be reported on a W-2 like it would be if you were still an active employee, and the employer should withhold the 7.65% social security and medicare tax and pay the matching amount themselves.
If they will not issue a corrected W-2 and take care of the SS and medicare tax, there is a procedure you can use. But before using that procedure, you should ask the company for a W-2 so that you have proof of their refusal (assuming they refuse).
