I've worked for several jobs short term and didn't receive w-2 forms for any of them! How can I file my taxes?

Have you contacted your past employers and asked for them?

Yes! And they tell me I have to call some one! I can't remember who! But do you think if I go to h&r block or any tax agencies they can help?

Nope. You have to have those W2s - from each employer. Are you talking about just last year, or several years? Are you sure these were jobs that you filled out a W4 for each one? Did they take out taxes?

Neither H&R Block or any other tax preparer can figure out what your income and withholding were for your jobs - they need the W-2 forms. So call your old employer(s) and ask (again) how to get your W-2's. Assuming you are working on 2012 taxes - you will need to get the W-2 forms for each employer where you were on the payroll in 2012.

Between last year and this one witch I know they haven't went out yet but for last year I didn't get them and yes I did file the w4 form for all them! Plus I moved from the previous address and don't know if they went there or not! Thanks you for your answer.

Employers must mail them to the last address on file with them by Jan 31 at the latest.
It's a strict law - employers know it and don't just toss them or not fill them out.
But some of them nowadays charge you for a second copy.

If, for some reason, you cannot get copies of the W-2, call the IRS and ask them to send you a copy of your tax account transcript. That will have the W-2 information on it (assuming that the employer(s) did originate W-2 for the work you did).
You can also call the state tax department and ask for a similar transcript for your state account.
