that show the copy of the W-2? Did you have a CPA or tax preparer do your taxes or did you do them yourself? If you had a CPA or tax preparer do them, then they should have a copy of it. If you did them yourself, you could probably even contact the IRS and ask for a copy. That has worked for me in the past when I needed a W-2 or tax return and couldn't find it.
