Your don't fill out a W2 your employer does at the end of the year when they are reporting your wages to the IRS. You should be filling out a W4 form which tells your employer how you want your federal income taxes calculated.
I don't see why not. It is not information they can use against you as it has no bearing on the employer taxes they pay. Some employers simpley have you fill it out when you apply so they don't have to get it from you later.

A W2 form is the year-end report of your wages the business paid you. If you did not work for a company and received no income from them, you won't get a W2. If you have received a W2 in error, speak with a tax professional about how to resolve the problem. This is a common problem where an identity is stolen and the person's name and SSN are used instead of the stealer's own identity.
If you meant a W4 form, there is no reason why you should have to fill one in until you have been hired. If the employer is asking you to do so as part of the job application process, a reluctance to take part in this simple request does not bode well for your future with that employer. If they ask you to stand on your head and chirp like a bird, and you can reasonably do so, then do so.

A W-2 form is what your employer gives you at the end of the year showing how much you were paid and how much was withheld in social security, medicare, yaddah.
Perhaps you are in reference to a form W-4; that you as an employee fill out showing how many exemptions to use in calculating your withholding; that is turned in each time your circumstances change regarding withholding.

You mean a w4 form, it doesn't matter. If you don't accrue any wage or payment from them its just empty paperwork. Some business do that as part of the application process, its an employer preference but bears no consequence on your income, or taxes.

Ideally, you should only be doing a W4 (I assume that is what you meant) if an offer of employment was made, and you accepted the compensation terms.
Anything else... problem.

No. If that is part of their application packet, just politely say you'd rather not fill that out unless/until you are hired. They may have just included that to save time on paperwork after you are hired, but they should not have!

W-2 is a service provided by the employer for the employee for income earn and tax is taken out for "you".
Why would you get tax taken out for no income earn in that business?
No I think it's just one of those screw up like cart before the horse.

No. Since you don't work for them, they can't make you do anything. I'd wonder why they asked in the first place. Kind of odd.

Can you sue them for asking you to? no
