TIPS TO GET MISSING W-2S
1) Camp on their doorstep with a very bright
yellow tent with BOLD BLACK lettering that says
-
NASTY EMPLOYER - REFUSES TO GIVE W-2s.
2) Go visit your employer's payroll office
every day and just hang out there, pestering
the payroll staff and making a nuisance of
yourself. Sooner or later, they will give up
and print one for you.
3) Take out a big newspaper ad and tell the
world what a jerk he is.
4) Hire Guido to take him out behind his shop
and beat some sense into him.
5) Drag him into court and get the judge to
force him to give it to you.
Or just do the sensible thing - stop stressing
and bitching. Just get over it. Use
a replacement form.
