Syracuse NY Preparers - Please Help

[BulldogTom]

I have a mangled W2 from a company in Syracuse NY. I got the income and withholding numbers off of it, and the client gave me the name of the company. But I don't have the Federal or State employer ID #s. Can any of you please help me out?

The employer is:

Dakota's Brickhouse Grill, LLC

Reichard (unreadable)

426 N Franklin St.

Syracuse, NY 13204

The restaurant has closed (I confirmed this online). I also did an entity search on the SOS website and the company comes up. I just need the federal and state id#'s for the W2 so I don't have to paper file these returns.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tom, Have you asked the client to contact a former co-worker ? They might be able to provide the information from their W-2.

She was a student there and said she hated working at the place. When she graduated, she moved to CA to begin working. She tried to find the owners, but the place closed down. I called the new place, but it is only an answering machine.

I was hoping there might be a member on the board from Syracuse who had that company in their W2 database.

I tried an online search company and it came up blank too.

I guess I will paper file the 3 returns.
