My late wife had W2s going back to her first job in 1964. Remember the punch card type paycheck we got from the military back in the day?Wait, do you actually keep tax stuff for more than 20 years? Do you have W-2's from before the year 2000? The IRS doesn't even keep your records that long and will only give you copies of returns (which may have W2 attached) up to 10 years old.
The W2s were exactly like that.
Not a very good picture, but I grabbed one off the internet, since I shredded my wife's. And the corners were rounded as well, though I think this picture is a little more rounded than it should be. You get the idea.
Also, a blank W4 form, which my late wife also had (filled in, and blank) from 2 years before she began her first job. Shaped a little differently, but the same dimensions. Now I kind of wish I'd saved a couple for posterity.
