W-2's come from employers - nowhere else except the Social Security Administration if the employer even filed the W-2 or a wage transcript from the IRS that only contains some of the W-2 information and no state information.
You can get a free "Wage and Income" transcript form the IRS but that is is not a copy of the W-2 and contains no state information.

You can get an exact copy of the W-2 from the Social Security Administration for $81 per copy.
