My wife and I need to find our old W2's for 2005 (2006 tax year) and we're having mixed fortunes. My company are sending me a copy no bother but the company she was with, United Airlines , insist that she makes the request in writing along with $25.00 for their efforts.

Anyone know of a cheaper way to do this or are they within their rights to make money off an employee they shafted once before, along with thousands of others?

Cheers

should be free, and up to 10 years previous.

Cheers Bob. I had seen that page before but only saw the $39.00 thingy which put me off
Thanks for the link again. We need it less than 60 calendar days but we'll see.

The missus had to get one a couple years back I think, anyway, took about 10 days, guess it depends on the time of year, as it weren't tax time so a tad quicker than what they say it'll take
