is there a website where i can find information on places i have worked in the past?

Question

I need to provide the past 10 years of work history but cant rem some of the places. Is there like a tax thing or can the irs help?

Answer 1

Just pull out your old tax returns. There will be a copy of a W-2 for every place you worked for.

If you don't have the copies of your returns you'll have to order copies from the IRS. The cost is $39.00 per return so that will set you back $390 for the last 10 years worth of returns.

Answer 2

The IRS copy of the W-2 will contain the employer's name and address (if there was one on the W-2) and the information needed for completing your federal return. It won't have the state information.

For employment history, for a fee, social security can run a report. For 10 years of work history, the fee will run $35 to $50. To obtain a detailed statement of your employment history, you need to complete Form SSA-7050-F4, Request For Social Security Earnings Information.

Answer 3

You can call IRS at 800-829-1040 and request an information returns transcript for the past six years. This will have all your W-2 information for those years. There will be no charge for this. IRS purges records that are older than this.

Answer 4

Just a couple things to add to what others have said:

You probably can't get the whole 10 years of copies from the IRS - they don't usually keep them that far back.

A transcript won't help you. That won't give you the detail, it will just show the AMOUNT of income from W-2's for that year, not where it was from.

Answer 5

IRS charges $39.99 per year of W2 copies.

Only good if you have your own business and can pay the price to look up your past history. Must know your past employers.

Answer 6

If you can't remember where you worked in the last 10 years then you should probably lay off the whacky weed...LOL
