about when should my W2 forms be mailed out? i realize after december but i am definitely eager to do my taxes on turbotax. ready to get my return before i give my LF donation. <G>
By law, employers are required to mail W-2's to employees by January 31, 2005. But, some send it sooner. We normally send ours out to EE's by the 20th.
When you EFILE, be sure to have the Tax ID's numbers for all emplloyers, and you can't EFILE until Jan15th (I believe). How do I know this, I work for Uncle Sam!
i tried that with a late coming 1099 a few years ago. thought everything was fine until 2 years later when i get a thick envelope from the IRS. now i wait on everything.
IRS wont kick back your return but they will wait til Feb 15 to process it then will wait another 6 weeks to mail it. so you can send it in on Jan 1 and get it in April or sned it in on Jan 15 and get it in late Feb or early March BTW the first official efile date is jan 15
