Folksare giving good info.
A) Contact your x employer and ask questions...don't assume anything. You may be one of many that had the same issue.
B) If you get no correction (new W2 asap). Tell your Xemployer that you will have no other option than to contact the IRS and the better business bureau to ensure things are made right due to their negligence (which they will not like the IRS probing and auditing them for weeks). As well, notify them that you will bill your exemployer any additional costs that you are charged in rectifying your taxes. Which means that you will want to have a real CPA/Tax attorney do your taxes this time around.
C) When you have the CPA do your taxes, make sure you maximize the value you are paying them and have them help you understand any additional ways you can save on taxes for 2006 and this current year. Get their advice...since you're paying for it.
Good luck.

You claim the taxes that were withheld from your paychecks on the tax return you file.
You can prove you paid them by using your check stubs, and as long as your employer withheld them, he is responsible for sending them to the govt.
It probably will hold up your refund, they will send you a letter saying they do not have a record of the withholding. You can then send them copies, not originals, of you check stubs and they will go after the boss for the money.

Report the mistake to the Human Resources department at your former employer. Submit a copy of your evidence. They will have no choice but to issue you a new W-2.

That would need to be asked about at your employer, although I can't think of a good answer. Any answer other than "it was a mistake, we'll issue you a corrected version" would be wrong.
In that case, you need to contact the IRS. Basically they would have deducted YOUR money in your name, but not paid it, forcing you to pay it twice.
