How do I get my W-2 from an employer that I don't work for anymore?

To obtain your W-2 from a former employer, first contact the company's HR or payroll department directly, as they can provide the document or guide you on how to access it. If you can't reach them, you can request a copy from the IRS by filing Form 4506-T, which allows you to request a transcript of your tax return including W-2 information. Additionally, check if the employer has an online portal where past documents are accessible. Remember to have your personal information handy for verification purposes.
