I didn't file taxes last year. now I'm filing and I can't find a t4. how can I get one without completely looking like an idiot to my employer? is there a reason I can tell her that I need one, other than the fact that I didn't file? (i.e., what if I was being audited? or my husband was?)

If you filed last year, then the place that did your taxes for 2004 will have one for you. If not, then call the CRA and they should have a copy of one for you. I work at a tax place, this is a liable answer, lol.

Find another job fast... If your employer doesn't file this infomation with IRS and you file your income, they will come audit the employer sooner of later. And if your employer is telling you not to report your income and you are depositing your income in a bank... you will flag the IRS eventually yourself. It is important to report your income. Don't let an underhanded employer strong arm you into breaking the law. Like I said... find another job fast with someone who respects the law and you.

Some of your answers posted are incorrect.\n\nMost states work off a system similar to the Federal/IRS system.\nThis means you have three years from April 15 of the year following the year you are reporting.\nFor example, you have until April 15, 2008 to file a return for tax year 2004 (originally due on April 15, 2005).  Since most states share electronic information with the IRS, if you are in good standing with them, the state will notify you by letter of any amount due.\nIf they owe -you- money, they will -not- notify you.  You only have three years to claim an amount owed to you.\n\nState penalties for tax avoidance are in most cases much less than Federal penalties.\n\nMost employers automatically withhold the proper amount (within a few dollars) of your state taxes owed.  If you had federal taxes withheld from your check and filed a federal return, you should really not worry about it at all.\n\nIf you are self-employed, or had employees working for your business, it is a whole other story.  You should then consider hiring a tax expert or attorney as in these cases the possibility of severe fines and penalties can be real.\n\nOtherwise, don't worry about the state issue unless they contact you.\n\nI hope this has been helpful.

yes you do. go to IRS.GOV and in the keywords enter 940 and 941 instructions. It said that you still have to file even if you have no taxes withheld unless you are filing a final return. I hope this helps you!

yes, when you go to a doc, have them give you a form to fill out. Otherwise you can get one from your employer. Just remember you have to report it at work as soon as possible if you haven't already.

yes, and you will want to do that as soon as possible. If you are getting a refund, there will not owe any penalties or fees. The big reason why you want to file them ASAP is because the IRS already has a list of all of your income. They get a copy of your W-2s when your employer sends you a copy so they know what you made. They do not know what your deductions are though, so in about 2 to 4 years they will send you a big fat bill for what they feel that you owe them (when actually they may owe you) Also if you do not file at all the IRS may assume that you are avoiding paying taxes and will likely audit you.\ngood luck\nBLU

Call the IRS, they will send this information to you. I got mine rather quickly. I was surprised...

There isnt a central place where you can get your W2, you will have to talk to your accounting or HR department about where you can obtain a copy. \n\nNOTE: They are required by law to keep a copy of your W2 for an extended period of time.

You need to file a 1040X with the correct(ed) forms.  You can download the forms or order them from IRS.gov .

I am pretty sure you can download and print all IRS forms from their website. Sorry I wouldn't know the url but if you know that, give it a try, otherwise, you might need to write or call the IRS and ask them to send the form out. As you didn't say anything else on the question, I'm not sure that's where to go. But I think if that'snot right then you can getthe form from your employer. The IRS should at least be able to tell you where to get the form from ifnot from them

I filed anyway one year, when I only made like $6,000-$7,000 and I got back over $600. I was very surprised. You might do it online for kicks just to see if you have anything coming to you. If not just leave it unfiled. Good luck !

You may need to ask your question with some additional details.\n\nI assuming here, but it appears that you failed to files returns on which you were due a refund.  You most likely received a demand for return notice within the first 18 months.  You filed a return well after three years from the original or extended due date.  And you were denied your refund as a result of statute.  You requested an administrative appeal based on their decision. They are asking you for the grounds of your appeal.\n\nIf so, here is what happened.  The statute of limitations runs for three years from the date of the filing of the return.  If you don't file a return, the statute never stops running, and the IRS can come after you to prepare a return at any time.\n\nHowever, if the IRS has money due to you, and you do not request it back within three years of the original due date, or extended due date, they are not permitted to continue to hold your money ad infinitum.  No government agency is permitted to hold your money if they cannot find you and follow set proceedures in order to reach you.\n\nAs the IRS cannot hold your money after the time allowed by statute, they submit the money to the deparment of unclaimed property.  The Federal government and every State has a department of unclaimed property, which makes the money available for government use until you file sufficient claims.\n\nIf my summary is close to correct, and the IRS followed ALL required proceedures in order to notify you of their intent to submit your property, then you have no grounds for administrative appeal, and instead need to focus you efforts on the department of unclaimed property.  If the IRS failed to follow ALL required proceedures, then that is the grounds for your appeal.  And you will need to specify which proceedures were not followed under statute.

If he with held taxes on you or you were or should have been pd an a 1099. You need to go to IRS.GOV or you can call 1 800 829 1040. Tell them what is going on. They will tell you what you need to do. There might even be some money in it for you. What he is doing is wrong. You might want to find out what you have to do and go to him and say you can file or I'm going to turn you in. He might go ahead and do what is right. What he is doing is against the LAW. If you don't want him to know it is you that is fine. You don't have to tell. You are doing the right thing by filling. If he were to get audited in the future which is likely he can say that he pd you and they will want to know why you didn't file. Good luck with this!!

The instructions on the W-4 are a guide. You would be single filing one if you're parents claim you as a dependent, single filing 2 if you live on your own.\nHowever, you can use the allowances claimed as a way to change the size of your refund/tax payment at tax time. If you like to get a refund at the end of the year and you had similar circumstances last year with the same filing status, follow the instructions. If you'd rather have the money in your paycheck and pay a large amount at tax time, increase the number of allowances.

Technically you could file an amended return (1040X) once you receive it, but I don't think waiting until next year is wise.  This is income that employer has reported to the IRS, and it will likely raise a red flag if it doesn't appear on your return.\n\nBy law, W-2's are to be given or mailed to employees no later than January 31.  I know my employer waited until the 27th to make them available.  Since your husband no longer works at the Food Lion, they'll have mailed it.  It's fairly likely it hasn't gotten to you yet.  I would wait a little while, then contact the employer to see if it was mailed.
