If you get a 3921, use what's there; the burden of accuracy is on the company.

I worked at a place that didn't issue 3921's (in the .com go round). I had a hell of a time reaching someone still at the company who could give me that information almost a year later (and after several rounds of devastating layoffs). I really don't know what she based the figure on.

It's not a matter of if. Companies are required to issue a 3921 these days.[0] That was not the case in the dot-com days. I don't even know if Form 3921 existed then.
