Missing W2

I did not receive my W2 from my former employer and they are making it extremely difficult to get in contact with them about it. I don’t have any pay stubs either. The Live Assistance feature where you can call the IRS is closed due to the outbreak. Is there anything else that I can do to get my W2?

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

Other ways to get W-2’s:

 

Pay Social Security $86 per W-2:
