The IRS does not have your income information for Tax year 2006 they are not provided that information until July.
Do you have your last paycheck stub for 2006, you need to find it and hold on to it, If you have not received a W2 by Feb.15th call the IRS tell them you need to file a W2 complaint., they will need the name, address, of the employer and from when to when you worked for that employer in 2006. ei) from jan to oct. etc.
They will send a notice to the employer, and send you a form that you can use as a substitute W2. You will enter in the information from your last paycheck stub

Hi, I looked on the IRS site for you. Here is the excerpt I found:
I didn't get my W-2 by January 31, so I asked my employer for it, but I still don't have it. What should I do?
If you don't receive your Form W-2 (PDF) by February 15, contact the IRS for assistance at (800) 829-1040. Also, you may want to refer to Tax Topic 154, Form W-2 - What To Do if Not Received, to see the specific information the IRS will need in order to prepare a Form 4598, Form W-2, 1098 or 1099 Nor Received, Incorrect, or Lost. You will be sent a copy of Form 4598 along with a Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099R, Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contract, etc.
You can go to irs.gov for more info.
Good luck!

By law your employer does not have to have your W-2 mailed until January 31. If you have not received it after 2/9/07 I would call the IRS (that's the step your supposed to take). However, if you have your pay stubs from this job you can figure your taxes with them.
Good Luck!

Do you have your last pay stub from them? They're supposed to send out W-2's even if they're out of business, but it's very possible that they won't. If you don't get one by Feb 15, call the IRS and they'll work with you on creating a "substitute W-2" that you'll use to file.

If you do not receive a W-2 you can use your final pay check stub. However, I would wait to see if they send them out.
