Perhaps call the IRS:

“Taxpayers should file their tax return on time – this year's tax deadline is April 18 for most filers – even if they still have missing or incorrect documents. If they don't receive the missing or corrected form from their employer or payer by the end of February, they may call the IRS at 800-829-1040 for help. They'll need to provide their name, address, phone number, Social Security number and dates of employment. They'll also need to provide the employer's or payer's name, address and phone number. The IRS will contact the employer or payer and request the missing form.”
