Best Answer

Form W-2 is Wage and Tax Statement. You have two options for obtaining your past year's W-2 form. One, contact your employer. Employers are required to keep employment-related records for at least four years after the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever is later.

Two, contact the IRS. File Form 4506-T (Request for Transcript of Tax Return) to request Form W-2 information, which the IRS maintains for the past 10 processing years. There's no charge for copies of W-2 information.

For more information, go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics. Select Topic 159: Prior Year(s) Form W-2 (How to Get a Copy). You always can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 with any questions.
