    You can't. They have to be mailed before the end of January. I don't recall the exact date. Nothing compels an employer to prepare them sooner - unless it's a small employer, willing to accommodate you, you can't get the form earlier.

    Most tax professionals can file your return with your last 2008 pay stub if you have a 2007 W-2 from the same employer from which the tax pro to get the employer's EIN.

    Also, H&R Block has a program where they will lend you the refund until you get the W-2.

    If your employer has a website, see if it's available on line. If not, it's been suggested that an Accountant can use your last pay stub.

    Otherwise you have to depend on the US Mail.
