See if they filed the W-2 with the IRS ... get an income transcript ..   <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript">http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript</a>

Since it is now after February 14 and you haven't received your W-2, you need to follow the steps here below.

1.     Get your last 2016 paystub and call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

2.     The IRS will ask you for some info before following up with your employer.

3.     After notifying the IRS, you can either continue waiting for your W-2, or paper-file your return using Form 4852 and your last paystub. You can find instructions for how to file with Form 4852 here https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3351348

NOTE: Returns including Form 4852 cannot be e-filed per IRS regulations. So you will have to print and mail if you go this route.
