In celebration of the contributions and achievements of American workers, we celebrate Labor Day.
On this symbolic end of summer day, I wish you safe parties, summer picnics and barbecues, and parades while using time wisely with your family and friends.
I think it is great that you are providing this type of information to your readers. I sure wish someone had told me about this years ago. I will soon reach the age of social security eligibility and I am trying to get W-2 forms from two employers that I had 15-20 years ago because the Social Security statement shows several years of no earnings when I was working full time and was paying into social security. I just did not realize until late how important it is to check the earnings statement for accurcy and to keep those W-2 forms.
Your story breaks my heart. I’m so sorry you are going through this hassle. I wonder how long the IRS keeps their records. Back in the day, you had to submit your W-2 forms with your tax return. If they have old records, then you might recover that information. Keep working. I know it is difficult, but your future benefits are based on those earnings. Thanks for your comment, Ruth!
