Legally, Do employers have to send out W-2s and 1099s by a certain date? Where do I find this "law"?

You can find the required dates on the instructions for the 1099 form on the IRS website.  www.irs.gov.  Have you called your company? They may not even know to give you one too...

I would try thru www.irs.gov and try a search for yourself. If the employer filed the W-2 you should be bale to gather the info from that.

Typically employers hand out W2's in January and must have them out by the 31st of January.  Most employers probably wouldn't be able to complete their books in time to give it to you by the end of December.  I will have hours worked in December, but they will count toward 2007's earnings since I won't actuallly be paid for them until 1-6.

You get your W2 from your employer -- that's the only source.  Your employer is obligated to get you your W2 by January 31st.

Ask them for name and address. Since you will be paying them as part of your business, then they are your employees and they need to fill out a W-4 Form.  \n\nIf you are paying customers for services rendered then they are Independent contractors, and you will need to send them Form 1099 at the end of the year.

The company who issued you the 1099 has to issue government versions of that 1099 to the IRS by February 28th. The best thing for you to do is what you did. If they gave you that 1099, you can bet they sent it in to the IRS as well, which means if you don't claim that on your income tax return, the IRS will catch it and you'll be up {you-know-what} creek. Who knows why it's taking so long for your return to be processed. Depending on when you filed it, they could just be really backed up. I filed mine really early and it still took several weeks. Hope that helps!

There is not a company that keeps record of all this information. If you worked for less then 30 days at anyone job I would not mention it, it shows inconsistency. When it asks for when you worked just put the month and year.\n\nThe closest thing that you could use to locate all of your employees would be looking at your W-2's, you should keep them, if you don't, you should certainly start keeping them.\n\nGood luck

At the end of the year, if you paid him/her $600 or more, then you need to fill out and give him/her and the IRS a 1099-MISC form.  These are not too difficult to fill out, and you need not concern yourself with withholdings or FUTA or anything of the sort since they are a contractor and not an employee.  On the 1099-MISC form, you need to fill in their SSN or EIN (whichever they wish to provide).  Anytime you need an identification number to file a form with the IRS, you also need them to fill out and submit to you a completed W-9.  You really don't NEED the W-9 before they start working for you, but I'd get them to fill it out ASAP.  Remember, if you pay them less than $600, then you don't need to send a 1099-MISC nor get a W-9.  Just because you pay them less than $600 doesn't mean they don't have to claim the income, nor does it mean you can't write off the expense.  It just means you don't need the W-9 / 1099-MISC forms filled out.

You don't need to send in a copy of the 1099-INT.  The only sheets you are required to attach are W-2s, and any 1099-Rs (retirement, IRA, pension withdrawals) that had any federal tax withheld

contact the IRS.  By law your previous employer needs to keep their copy of the W2s on record for 7 years.  it is THEIR responsibility to make certain that you received it.

Should be on your W-2's.  Somewhere on there should be an\nemployers identification number.

Your employer has until January 31 to get your W2 to you.  Make sure they have your current mailing address.  You can also contact your employer and request a copy of your last pay stub.

You need to go to your employer for the most current W2. By law they are required to give you a copy by Jan. 31 of each year. Check out the IRS website for loads of info!!!

They dont really have to send you a 1099 unless they paid you $600 or more.  You could put it on line 21 as other income.  But, the best thing to do is probably to put it on a Schedule C so you can deduct any out of pocket expenses you had associated with that income.  If you put it on Schedule C though you will have to pay Self Employment tax  of 15.3 percemt because you made over $400

Generally have to wait for your employer to send you your w-2 which shows the amount of income and amount of taxes paid for the year. They are required by lay to have them to you by the 31st of Janurary. If you have any interest earning accounts , they also have to send a 1099 form showing your yearly interest earned. It is best to wait until you have all your info so you don't have to amend your taxes after you have filed them.

It would be up to your employer to make your W-2 available online.  If they don't, they will either give it to you at work (assuming you still work there) or mail it to you by the end of this month.
