If you don't send anything, they will audit you and find your filing incorrect and ask you to pay the difference and the interest. What is the proof that you can't provide? It's hard to believe they are auditing you just for one thing. Do you think there are more they are questioning? I got a letter once because the number didn't match and they didn't have 1099 to prove it. Because I didn't have time to do all the research, I ended up paying them a couple hundred dollars. However, every IRS employees I talked to was very helpful and polite. Why don't you try telling them you can't find the document and see what they would say?

From start to finish, it can take anywhere from about 4-6 months, all depending on what service center you filed at (some are faster than others), or if you've received any Requests for Further Evidence it can delay you by months, and how quickly your fiance's consulate is at scheduling interviews.

Calling the IRS is easiest. If you fill out the form they will have to process it and it takes forever. If you call they give you one right over the phone. It's one of the painless things you can do with the IRS.\n\nHere's the number: 800-829-4933 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM M-F Local time\n\n:)\n\nGood luck!

Depends on when you file.  I did my filing electronically and for the past two years had my Federal refund direct deposited to my checking account.  In both years I had my refund in my account 8 days after I filed my return.\n\nWaiting as long as 6 to 8 weeks is so primitive.

Your pay stubs can be destroyed after the end of the year (shred), unless you have some tax deductible expenses withheld like union dues or contribuitons.  As for your tax statements and returns, you should keep for at least 5 years.  The IRS can audit your returns going back 3 years but can go back to your first return if they beleive you committed fraud.  After 5 years, if you haven't been contacted for an audit, shred the returns and your statements.

you fill out the form, attach the rebate and mail them in.  They take anywhere from 6-8 weeks to mail the check.  So about the time you forget about them, the checks show up lol

just a correction of the previous answer. There wont necessarily be an audit. Whoever has claimed you in previous years will get the priority and be allowed to claim you. The other persons claim will be kicked out and if they have already received the money from the irs they will have to pay back taxes

They were legally obligated to at least mail out your W2 by yesterday (1/31).  If they did not, you may need to contact the IRS to see what it is that you can do to estimate the earnings for your own tax return.\n\nYou could also contact the restaurant or the owners to see how you can get it.

Direct deposit requested - 2-4 weeks on average.\nPaper check requested - 6-8 weeks on average.\n\nAssuming no other problems with the return.  You can always check the progress of your return at the irs website.  Look for the Where's my refund link.

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

At the IRS site, IRS.gov, the section Where's My Refund gives you an estimated time .  You'll need your SS#, filing status (married, single, etc.) and the exact dollar amount of your refund to access your info.
