I found this quote from a lawyer on the internet. Hope it helps.
If you your last paystub accurately reflects what your employer should have been doing, that is withholding taxes and paying them over to the government, and he refuses to give you a W-2, file your tax return based upon the accurate information and include a letter of explanation with the return as to why you have not attached a W-2 to your return. If your employer fails to pay over the taxes withheld, it is his problem, not yours. The IRS will treat you as though the withheld taxes were paid.

Write a short, polite letter asking for them, make sure you inform him you will take legal action if you are satisfied. Keep a copy. Go to the post office, send him the original and make sure you tell the clerk there you need the letter "registered " with a "return receipt". He will have to go to the Post Office and sign to get the letter. The PO will mail you the receipt. Now you have proof that you asked for them. Next, contact the franchise tax board for your state and the federal IRS by phone, and ask for their help.

He has to by law. I'm not sure what he thinks he's accomplishing by not giving it to you. Contact the IRS and report your problem. He might be trying to avoid workers comp insuance payments or some sort of tax fraud. Either way he is in the wrong not you
