All W-2s must be issued by Jan 31st for a given year. If you have not received it by 14 Feb, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. Ask for individual accounts. They can send a form to the issuer, and send the taxpayer a sub for the W-2 to, if needed, reconstruct a W-2. If you are waiting for a W-2 from 2006, call the above number, ask for accounts, and tell them that you need a transcript of your 'Wage and Income' (W&I) for 2006. You can also ask them if there is a W-2 in your tax record from a given employer (issuer) for any previous year, up to 6 years. The Government can be your Friend.
