How Do You Get Another Copy Of Your W2 Form?

          The Internal Revenue Service of the United States Department of the Treasury does not retain actual copies of the w2 form except as an attachment to your tax return for prior years.

           However, the Internal Revenue Service maintains w2 form information for any purpose for the past ten processing years.The only way to get a copy of your w2 form from the Internal Revenue Service is to order a copy of the entire return on form 4056 and pay a fee of $39.00 per tax year.

          All that you are supposed to do is call them at 1-800-829-3676 or visit their website on www.irs.gov and go to 'obtain form 4506'. This service of the internal revenue service has started just over a couple of months. To follow this complete procedure will take you a couple of weeks or maybe a month even.
