    Did you file tax returns for those years?  Your income was reported to Social Security if you received W-2's from an employer.

    your needs don't seem to be in excess of wht theSSA requests.

     

    here's the link for info required if filing online

    if you have filed tax returns the SSA admin should have the info the the 2 years required

    if you are making a visit to SSA to sign up here's the checklist

    and here's the other medical and job worksheet

    if you used Turbo Tax online you can print the 5 years of return  for a fee

    or

    if you used desktop and save the .tax20xx files or pdf's of them you can print them out for free

    or 

    you can use IRS form 4506 to request copies of the returns - don't know if transcripts would be adequate thry can be obtained thru an online request or by filing form 4506-t.
