Default Re: Former Employer will not give me my W-2...What now?

Assuming "former" employer. Write the IRS and cc the employer. Keep asking till April 1st. Then fill 1040 based on last pay stub and explain to IRS the situation. Don't be nasty but be firm with employer. If the employee is having financial problems, then the IRS already knows. Don't be a jerk, desperate people do stupid things so keep your distance. Pay stub is OK for IRS under the circumstances, a description of your attempts, in the return, is fine. Your refund might be late, but you'll get it.

Good Luck
