Your best bet is to ask your employer or payroll department for another copy of your W-2.

Here are some more options:

• Order a copy from the Social Security Administration. It's free if you need it for Social Security-related reasons; otherwise, it's $86 per request.
• Order a full copy of your return from the IRS for $50, which will also include your W-2.
• Wage and income transcripts are available from the IRS free of charge. 
• They're not exact copies, but they contain everything on your W-2 except the state and local information.

Option #2 "Order a full copy of your return" will *NOT* work to get a copy of your 2019 W-2., since you haven't filed your 2019 tax return yet, and you can't file it without your 2019 W-2.

You only have two choices, and that's it.

1) Ask the issuer of the W-2 to issue you another copy.

2) Order a copy from the SSA and pay $86 for it.
