Client worked for firm that went out of business during the year. Apparently, they did not issue any w-2s. What needs to be done in order to get the return filed?

Do a substitute for W-2 (Form 4852) try and get all the information off the last pay sub if possible. Explain on the form the pertinent information etc. go from there.
