My W-2s from the last couple of years got stolen. what do I do?

[VictorW9]

You Have two options:

1) Ask your employer(s) for a duplicate copy of your W-2s. Most employers now offer online access to W-2s. They have a legal requirement to keep them for four years and some do choose to keep them for longer.

2) You can request an IRS wage and income transcript. But that copy will show your state information.

Ask your employers for copies.

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.

You can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $86).
