I need to file income tax for 2002 and I don't have all my w2,s. I also don't have any paystubbs from then. I do have most w2's for that year. Can I just file them and be done with it?

No. You can call the IRS and they will send you a transcript of your earnings, income and withholding. You can use that transcript to file your tax return. If you were due a refund, it has been forfeited. Refunds may only be claimed for 3 tax years years back.
