My W2's and all tax records were lost in a household move, and I have no desire to contact 6 - 7 different contractors to ask for a re-issue of forms. Can't I do my taxes based upon know amounts of income I have noted?

Call the IRS and ask for your tax script. It's free!

You'll get it in about two weeks.

Then go to a local tax pro and he/she will reconstruct the forms you need.
