I have to find my 2017 W2 from Epic Nursing or the IRS and I drove down to 1222 Locust St today (ostensibly STL's main IRS Office) and OMG what a cluster**** of old and new construction, but I did NOT FIND any IRS office! And when I call their phone# it tells me to look up IRS.gov! DUH That's where I go online but I cannot find how to get a 2017 W2! Do YOU know how and will you share?

He's been given this info before, Gary, it's useless to attempt again, as he will never act on this issue...even by *2120*, he still will not have obtained his 2017 W2...let alone obtain gainful employment...

Kootchie prefers lolling around, smoking The Devil's Stinkweed, and 'woe - is - meing' on this froup...he is quite content to be indolent...
