No, unfortunately, if this former employer is no longer in business, you would not be able to get one directly from them. If you recall the payroll processing company they used (if they used one - for ex - PayChexs or ADP) you could definitely contact them and get the information from them after verifying your identity. Your IRS transcript, however, would have all of the necessary information for filing a return for that year if that is what you are attempting to do.
