I have not been able to obtain one of my W-2s. I do not have pay stubs to figure taxable wages or taxes withheld. what do I do now to finish my return?

[Paraphrased from IRS rules]
Can you file without having received your W-2? Yes, but only if you have not received it by February 14, and you have contacted your employer and attempted to obtain it, and you still have not received it by February 14, and then you contact the IRS (see the link below), then if the IRS is not successful in getting your W-2, you can use form 4852 in place of your W-2. But you MUST speak to the IRS before doing so. Otherwise, you cannot file before you receive your W-2.
