<prompt> Human: Edit: issue resolved. Thanks for the help!Sorry about formatting, and if I am not posting in the correct area.Basically, my wife cannot get her W-2 from her past employer. She contacted the IRS and they sent her a very unofficial looking print out there isnt even a form number so i cannot tell you what its called containing her federal information. When we attempted to file our taxes, obviously we were unable to do so, since she has no state info on that sheet. Not really sure what we should do at this point, any help would be appreciated. Assistant: She contacted the IRS and they sent her a very unofficial looking print out there isnt even a form number so i cannot tell you what its called containing her federal information.She received a Wage and Income document transcript. Its not pretty, but its official. The pretty transcripts wont be available for a few weeks. She could contact her state tax agency to see if they have similar records.Why cant she obtain the Form W-2 from the employer?Human: Thanks for giving me the name of the document! Well look into contacting the state tax agency.the TL;DR version is: she needs a working employee ID number. She no longer works for the company, so her number is no longer active.  <response>: Have her call her past employer. If she worked for them at all last year, they should have a w2 for her.
