Why not try giving them copies of the 1999, 2000 & 2001 returns. Then for the 2002 returns he could show them a copy of the forms where he has filed for an extension with the IRS? I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try.

One thing you can do is get the income information directly from IRS. If you telephone them and explain that the employer did not provide the required 1099 by January 31 (when it is legally due to the consultant) IRS will show you any income data that they have, and you can file the return based on that. If IRS has none, then you will just have to estimate based on your own bank records, and file your return based on that.
You will not have W-2's if it is a self-employment situation. At best you will have 1099's. Self-employed individuals who do not receive 1099's (which are not required for payments of less than 5K/year from a single source) are supposed to file their *own* 1099's if necessary to support the income shown on the return.

I don't understand. If he is self-employed. He is the one that is
supposed to file the return. If he is waiting for some other
documentation, he still must file by the due date or apply for an
extension. Are you referring to 1099's or other forms the company he
contracted with did not supply? Are they still in business? Are they
telling him they won't give him the forms? If so, then he should contact
the local IRS office so they can have a chat with the company.
Now,

If he is self-employed, he won't have W-2s.

That won't work, he needs to file his returns. If he is missing
information, he is supposed to obtain it. If he can't obtain it, he is
supposed to note this in writing and provide the information to the best
of his knowledge.
