1. First you should contact your employers.

2. The IRS does not retain actual copies of Form W-2. However, the IRS maintains (and will provide free of charge) Form W-2 information for any purpose for the past ten processing years. Call 1–800–829–3676, or visit the IRS web site at Internal Revenue Service (http://www.irs.gov) to Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, to order the information from the IRS.

3. The Social Security Administration will provide copies of Forms W-2 for retirement purposes at no charge and for other than retirement purposes for a fee. Call 1–800–772–1213, or visit the SSA web site at Social Security Online - The Official Website of the U.S. Social Security Administration (http://www.ssa.gov) for instructions on how to obtain wage information from the SSA.

You may want to try the STATE tax agency, because the IRS tax transcript will only have the federal tax data and NOTHING for the state withholding.
