The IRS has a copy but? why would you want to ask them?
Call your former employer even if you smacked your boss in the face. It's better than dealing with the IRS

If you already filed a return for that tax year you can get a copy of the return from the IRS. That should include a copy of the W2.
If you have not ifled your return yet there is no way to get a copy except from the employer. You have to get it from them, and they have to provide it upon request.
If this is for tax year 2006, the W2 hasn't been produced by your employer yet; that won't happen until January. They are required to mail them out by 1/31/07. You'll have to wait until it comes in the mail.

If it's for income in 2006, the employer is required to mail it by Jan. 31 2007. As long as your address on file with them is correct, it will show up eventually.
If you need a prior W-2 from an earlier year, you can go to the IRS directly and get it, or a transcript of it. Check the IRS website to find the best way to do so, either by mail or if they have an office near you. In general, it's free to get your own from the IRS.
If you paid anyone to do your taxes, like a CPA or HRBlock, they will retain copies of everything for at least 7 years as well, and will provide you copies upon request (possibly with a nominal fee to pull the files out of archives).

Legally ,they're obligated to provide the W2, even if you've any problem with you ex-employer. If you run into any troubles getting them, notify the IRS by going to the local IRS office and tell them your employer won't send you the W2. Worst case, you can contact a Tax Attorney, if your ex-employer won't send you the W2.
Good Luck.

Your past employers are required to provide you with your copies of the W-2 by the end of January. It can be mailed to an address if they have one on file. You don't have to see them in person.

You have to contact your former employer to get a copy of your W-2. Depending on how long you've been gone, it should have gotten to you by now, unless you've moved.

Write them a polite letter requesting the W2's (they have to get them to you by the end of January) and give them your current address. There's no other way to get them though.
