Not sure if this question is appropriate for the board as I am sure most Clerks do not handle W2 forms, but I thought I would ask anyway. 

I would like to know how long is it necessary to keep W2 forms, and if an employee (current or former) requests a copy of a W2, do you require them submit their request in writing, in person, verbally, etc.?
