I didn’t file taxes for 2005 or 2006. I moved around a lot during at that time and had a hard time keeping track of my W2's and not loosing them. One major place I worked for doesn’t even exist anymore (the Maytag call center “Randstad”, is gone now that whirlpool took over) and they sent my W2 to the wrong place! Now there is no one I contact to get another one. I need to know the best SAFE way to request my back W2's for 2005 and 2006. I don’t care if it costs a fee but I want to file for these years when I file for 2007. I'm 99.9% positive I'm owed money back for these years and I don’t want to loose out now. I guess you could call me a power procrastinator. Can anyone tell me the best way to get copies of my W2’s before tax season? I've tried looking on my own at irs.gov and all I found was a form for back returns that included a copy of the W2's. I didn’t file so that wouldn’t work for me right? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!!!

you might try calling the irs
and asking in person. If
that does not work, then
you may need a lawyer
or an accountant to get them.

Go to your local IRS office and tell them your situation.
All companies have to keep records for varying lengths of time before they can be disposed of (even if they close or are taken over by another company).
Payroll information is sent to the IRS about 4 times a year.
You should have contacted the IRS in Feb. 2006 if you didn't get or lost your W-2's.
If you do have to file for 2005 &2006,you will probably have to pay penalties and interest on top of any taxes due.
You should get a binder or something to keep your pay stubs in during the year for 2 reasons.
1. you will have a record of your income and taxes withheld.
2. If you don't get your w-2's in time to file your tax returns,you will have something to work with anyway. You can file an amended return if necessary when you do get your w-2's.
W-2's have to be in the mail by the end of January.
You could also use tax software to help prepare your tax returns,they generally let you print out a copy for your records and you can backup to a floppy or DVD disk too.

with a bit of luck you made a replica of the return earlier you filed it. save a replica of that, connect the unsent W-2s, and write up a cover letter saying this is a replica submitting to incorporate W-2 types inadvertently left of the unique reurn whilst it replaced into filed. this way, they have all of the advice they'd desire to end your return, along with SSN and such, and facilitates to bury them below that particularly greater place of work work. i'm presuming that the earnings quantities have been secure interior the unique submitting and you in basic terms forgot to attach the W-2. if that's the case it isn't any longer probable an amended return for the reason which you're no longer changing any of the numbers. An amended return only lists the unique numbers, and beside them the impressive new numbers, and the adaptation in ensuing tax. If all your unique numbers have been impressive, and you in basic terms forgot to attach a W-2, you're no longer amending the return, you're only sending in one greater style that would not substitute the unique in any way. I had to make an amended return one 365 days because of fact I 'forgot" to incorporate a W-2 style and its earnings on my tax return. I sent in this amended return a pair of weeks later alongside with the added tax fee and it replaced into fantastic, yet that's no longer what it seems such as you could desire to do.

Whirlpool still exists and they should have obtained Maytag's payroll records when they bought Maytag (or the other way around). Call Whirlpool and ask them to send you a W-2 for the time that you worked at Maytag.
