Go to your local CPA or go to the IRS website to obtain Form 4852 which is a substitute for form W-2 the wage and tax statement. Using your pay stubs and bank deposit slips calculate to your best ability your gross wages, federal and state withholding, social security and Medicare withholdings. You will then attach Form 4852 to your tax return.

If, even after nudging from the IRS, your employer doesn't send you a replacement W-2 in time for you to file your return, you may file using Form 4852 in place of your missing wage statement.
After you complete the form, attach it to your tax return in place of your absent W-2. A copy of Form 4852 also should satisfy your state tax collector for those returns.
Using Form 4852 instead of an original W-2 may delay your refund while the IRS verifies the information you provided.
In cases where an employer has filed for bankruptcy or ceased operations, the IRS suggests you send a copy of Form 4852 to your local Social Security Administration office.
This should ensure that you get proper credit for the Social Security and Medicare taxes you paid so that your checks will be correct when it comes time to collect these benefits.
