Navigating Background Check Anxiety After Landing My Dream Job Offer

I recently landed a dream job offer and I'm currently going through the background check process. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster because I realized I flubbed the dates on an internship I had listed on my resume. Ironically, the HR team needs to verify my waitress job from six years ago, which has me sweating bullets. I've tried looking for my W2 on the IRS site, but it seems like it’s not available. I didn't file taxes for that job since I was a teenager and didn't really know how to handle it back then. I also don’t have any old paystubs to back it up. I called the restaurant directly, and they said they’re working on finding my W2, which is my best shot right now. However, I’m really panicking about what happens if they can’t find it. All I have to prove I worked there are a few onboarding emails. I’m hoping that might be enough for HR to confirm my employment, especially since I had a good relationship with my manager and team. I’m just worried that if they can’t verify it, my offer could be rescinded. I’m trying to stay calm, but it’s tough. Any advice on what to do if the restaurant can’t find my W2?
