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.
