You can use paid subscription databases such as this:\n\nfreeERISA.com EIN Finder http://www.freeerisa.com/Extras/EINFinder.asp\nknowx.com http://www.knowx.com \n\nIf that doesn't work, for public companies, the EIN (or "IRS No.") is printed on the first page of 10-Ks, 20-Fs and other SEC filings, which you can get on the Internet for free (see the Filings section of "Securities and Exchange Commission"). For private companies, EINs are often included in the company's Dun & Bradstreet report (see "Dun & Bradstreet Reports"), they are often printed on the company's invoices, or you can try searching the FEIN databases on KnowX.com http://knowx.com/ , Westlaw (FEIN-ALL) or Lexis (D&B;FEIN), which uses Dun & Bradstreet data. If the company files with a Secretary of State the EIN may be on its annual report. If the company filed for bankruptcy, the EIN may be on the docket sheet as part the company's address.\n\nFor non-profits, EINs are often included in the the profile on Form 990, available through Guidestar ( http://www.guidestar.org ). In addition, nonprofit EINs are often included in the records in the Lexis EOTEXT file.\n\nFor political parties and other political organizations, EINs are reported on Form 8871, available through the IRS Web site ( http://www.irs.gov/charities/political ). \n\nFor insurance companies, the number should be at the top of their annual financial statement, which you can get if you dig deep enough on the NAIC Web site (http://www.naic.org/cis/).\n\nIf that doesn't work, UCC filings sometimes have EINs, though they usually don't (see also "Uniform Commercial Code").

if the companies are based in USA. then you can do a google search by phone number, that'll give you their address.\n\nthe other thing is that if you have their website address, then go to http://www.arin.net and enter the address. then look for the registrar information. that'll give you to whome that website is registered to and where he/she is located. then based on that you can find the company location.\n\nor, if u have the company website address, you can always look up their 'contacts?"

you will need to contact the company(s) that you received W2's from that year and "ask nicely" if they can make a photo copy for you. Keep in mind they are not required to do so but if you are polite they may search their records and make a copy for you. Good luck

You could contact the previous employer and ask for a copy, but if that's not reasonable the IRS has a copy too, just ask them.  They've become pretty personable and easy to work with.
