I had this problem a couple years ago. I had to request a copy of my W-2 forms, to do this contact the IRS department- Forms and Publications (800) 829-3676 M–F, 7:00 a. M–10:00 p.m.
You can also ask your past employers for a copy. Also it is not necessary to file taxes every year, just obtain the copies of your W-2's and the tax forms you will need (at the public library) and submit them like you normally would. This should not be a problem as long as you are able to show proof of your earnings.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
