What Is a Request W-2 Form?

A request W-2 form is a simple, printable document that asks your employer (or the IRS) to provide a copy of your Wage and Tax Statement. It typically includes:

• Your name, address, and Social Security number
• Employer’s name, address, and EIN
• The tax year you’re requesting
• A signature line authorizing the release of the document
