If you didn't get a W-2, here are some steps that you can take.

Step 1: Check online. Many employers now issue Form W-2 electronically to employees. But that doesn't mean they'll always email the form to you, as it isn't particularly secure. Instead, they'll email you a link to an online portal where you can download the form yourself.
Step 2: Ask your employer. If your online search leaves you empty-handed, contact your employer's payroll or human resources department to ask when and how they issued your W-2. If they mailed it to an old or incorrect address, the post office may have returned it to the employer.
Step 3: As a last resort Contact the IRS. What happens if your employer truly never issued your W-2? Perhaps they went out of business or aren’t responding to your request for a W-2? In that case, it's time to try contacting the IRS. Find a local IRS office

Be ready to provide the following information to the IRS:

Your name, address, Social Security number, and phone number
The employer's name, address, phone number and Tax ID if you have it
The dates you worked for the employer
An estimate of your wages and federal income tax withheld (you can usually find this information on your last pay stub for the tax year)
