Is there a way to get my w2's faster, or do I have to wait for them to be mailed to me?

Depends on your company. Many companies are now making W2s available online. You should check with your employers.

However, the only reason to be anxious to get your W2s is if you anticipate a significant refund. And, if that's the case, then you are not managing your withholding well. For most of the last several years, when I complete my federal return I'm within $100 (+ or -) of my withholding. So I either have to pay that $100 or get a refund of $100. People who get a large refund are loaning the government their money interest free. And I'm not about to do that. You are better off increasing your W4 exemptions to reduce your withholding and get your money in your pocket

Depending on your employer, there is a possibility that you can get it off line
