If you have no record of earnings that were not paid to you, there is nothing to report for those earnings.  

If you did receive some of your wages, you can report them using the steps below.

If your employer does not provide wages on a W2, you can choose to use a substitute W2, Form 4852.  Follow the instructions below.  This form prevents efile.

Do I have to do this or can I file without? I have no old pay stubs

@nicolexmas123 If you have no record such as a bank deposit or other information as to the amount you were paid, and you document all the steps you've taken to try to obtain the information you can retain it in with your tax records and file.  It is your responsibility to report all of your earnings on your tax return.  Expect that if the IRS does get documentation from the employer (W2s)  later, you could be contacted to correct your tax return.
