What do I do if my W2 is inaccurate? (missing wages and withheld taxes)

My W2 from past employer is wrong. I'm missing over $10,000 in wages, claims I paid nothing into taxes, which is completely inaccurate. I don't want to wait forever to try and get it corrected because the company closed. Do I file with the inaccurate W2 or claim the actual amounts on my paystubs?

see the instructions at the top of form 4852. follow them. then if you can't get a corrected w-2 and/or the IRS doesn't help then you file using this form to report the various amounts as best as you can estimate them
