Let's take one step back - what mission are you on that you need to get the ID number?

My client has not received a W2 from their employer . They have the final paystub but has no federal id or state id. The ex employer cannot be reached.

Defunct means no, doesn't it? 😏

You wouldn't get it from the IRS anyway.

Try looking the company up at the state corporation registration site (Secy of State/Attorney General).

Some states may have this info.

It was defunct yesterday when I originally answered.  We didn't mention defunct today and I only read the new post.  But I'll go on record that I do have a bit of CTE going on from the anvils.  I'm donating my brain to science once I'm gone --------------------- assuming they can find anything when they go looking for it 🤕
