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)

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

 

Here are some more options:

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

But you will pay a lot  ($90) to get a W-2 from Social Security.

Or you can pay the IRS $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

@galen143 out of curiosity, why are you seeking the W-2 from 2015?  are you trying to file a tax return from that year????
