You cant. Would you want everyone to have access to that? You can call your employer and by law they have to give them to you. They have to keep copies of the w-2. It is yours and they have to give it to ya

I know you can get the forms on the IRS web site in the keyword box just put in the form you need and the year. EX 2002 1040. I don't know where you would find an old tax program for free you might try a volunteer program.

Tax laws change from year to year ... best get a new copy and write it off on your taxes. \n\nMake sure the shortcut points to the correct folder. You might have to re-install it but save last year's return first.

Don't lie be very truthful. hopefully you have saved all of your information into a nice file folder for the last three years because I believe that's how far back they can go. If not gather that info from the necessary sources and send copies in by certified mail. If they are coming to you, be prepared to sit all day. If you are self employed you should make it a habit of keeping your books up to date and saving all pertinent receipts. As long as you know the info is correct on your previous taxes, you have nothing to worry about.

You don't.  If you don't have a copy of your prior year return, call 1-800-829-1040 and ask the IRS to mail you a copy of your transcript from last year's return.  It will show your AGI from 2004.

If you know the information that would go on your W-2 from your last payroll check stub of 2005, you can file a Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, with your tax return.

Some payroll services (ADP) will let you download directly into your tax software, but most of the time you can't get the data online.\n\nCompanies have to either give it to you or send it to you.  It is their choice.  But they have to do it by January 31.   If they said they have put it in the mail and you haven't received it, you can call them and they are required to send you a duplicate.   If they don't send you a duplicate, contact your local IRS office.

If you didn't keep a copy, there is nowhere you can go to view it on-line. You can get a copy from the IRS (for a fee) or get a transcript of the return for free. See the link below

You should receive a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from each of your employers for use in preparing your federal tax return. Employers must furnish this record of 2005 earnings and withheld taxes no later than January 31, 2006 (if mailed, allow a few days for delivery).\n\nIf you do not receive your Form W-2, contact your employer to find out if and when the W-2 was mailed. If it was mailed, it may have been returned to your employer because of an incorrect address. After contacting your employer, allow a reasonable amount of time for your employer to resend or to issue the W-2.\n\nIf you still do not receive your W-2 by February 15th, contact the IRS for assistance at 1-800-829-1040. When you call, have the following information handy:\n\n• The employer's name and complete address, including zip code, the employer’s identification number (if known), and telephone number,\n• Your name and address, including zip code, Social Security number, and telephone number; and\n• An estimate of the wages you earned, the federal income tax withheld, and the dates you began and ended employment.\n\nIf you misplaced your W-2, contact your employer. Your employer can replace the lost form with a “reissued statement.”  Be aware that your employer is allowed to charge you a fee for providing you with a new W-2.\n\nYou still must file your tax return on time even if you do not receive your Form W-2. If you cannot get a W-2 by the tax-filing deadline, you may use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, but it will delay any refund due while the information is verified.\n\nIf you receive a corrected W-2 after your return is filed and the information it contains does not match the income or withheld tax that you reported on your return, you must file an amended return on Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.\n\nForms 4852 and 1040X and their instructions are available on the IRS Web site, IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

Ask your employer if they have their W2s online.  Many companies allow current employees to get access to their website to get their W2s.  You usually need a password.  The sites are usually on a secure website.
