Ask your employer for another copy.

Depending on your employer there are a variety of options.

 

Firstly - you can just contact your employer, and have them send you another copy.  They are required to have a copy of your W2 on file for their own tax purposes I would imagine, so it might be just as simple as going in and having them copy it for you.

 

Secondly - more and more businesses are going paperless.  If your company uses an internet, or some kind of web platform to enter your time each day/week - chances are you can probably get a copy of your W2 by utilizing that web platform and looking at your pay statement section.

 

Hope this helps!
