Copy of 2015 w2

You will have to get a copy from your (presumably previous) employer.

suggest looking your transcript at IRS.Gov - it'll have the W-2 info reported to the IRS (but the state withholdings won't be there)

Level 15

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.

Level 15

if nowhere else from the Social Security Admin for a fee. They have them going back to 1978
