Note that if you are out of the country on the due date (April 17 this year) you have an automatic 2-month extension to file.

If you are on a salary, your employer will withhold taxes from your paycheck. This is actually you paying taxes. When you file your tax return, you are reconciling the amount of taxes you have paid against the actual amount owed. If not enough was withheld, you will owe taxes. If too much is owed, you may also owe interest and penalties, so you want to make sure your withholding are reasonable so that you basically cover all your taxes owed. If you have paid too much, you get a refund, but getting a large refund doesn't mean you have hit the lottery. It means you have been having too much withheld from your check and you have made an interest-free loan to the government. Your goal should be to get back or owe no more than about $100. When you start a job, you have to fill out federal and state tax withholding forms, which explain how to calculate a reasonable number of exemptions. You can also change these at any time, if your circumstances change, like you take a second job, you get married, you have a child, etc. If you don't know what you are doing, ask a tax professional to help you figure it out.\n\nNow, as for when to file your taxes. Do your tax return as soon as you get all the information you need (W2s, 1099s, etc.). If you are getting a refund, file right away. If you owe (but not enough to owe a penalty) wait and file close to April 15. If you owe with a penalty, pay as soon as possible, since the interest will keep accruing.\n\nHope that helps.

You will have to wait until next year to file that income since it was recieved in 2006.  What you can do is pay estimated taxes on the amount you just recieved if you haven't already been taxed on it.

Definitely call them.  Just because it is their fault they were late processing, they will still get ya for whatever they can think of.  Just like the IRS - they will come back years later finding a mistake on your tax return and they have the Ba l l s to stick you with late fees and interest for all the time it took them to object.

IRS charges a Failure to File Penalty of 5% per month for 5 months.  So if you are one month late it is 5% more, 5 months late 25% more.  You only get the penalty if you owe.  If you have a refund, you must file within 3 years of the due date or you lose the refund.  If you earned more than $400 self employment income for 2005 or more than $5,000 in wages, you really should go ahead and file.

I believe that you would have to wait for it to be sent to you as you cannot print out one yourself. However I just saw a commercial yesterday for H&R Block where you can get a loan for your refund without having your w-2's. You just take in your last paycheck of the year and they gather all of your info.

You can file now, but I'd suggest waiting until you get a corrected w-2 from your employer (talk to HR).\n\nI worked for the IRS last year, and it takes them roughly 10 months until the computers get around to checking whether the income/withholding on W-2s provided by employers matches up with the returns filed.

You still have to file a tax form because you actually did earn money.  Sad, but true.  Since you don't want to pay e-file, do a written one and since it's miniscule the math is simple.  Remember, the 17th is the absolute final day to get those returns postmarked in the post office.  So grab a form and get to it.

Either ask the employer for an additional copy.  They are required to keep them or contact the IRS.  The second alternative takes much longer particularly at this time of year.  You can file your return without the W-2 by adding Form 4852 and supplying the info from your last pay stub.  Be aware that doing so will slow down the processing of your return and therefore your refund if any.

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.

Do you mean that if you didn't not pay your fed tax throughout the year?   \nIf you make a taxable wage at the end of the year, then you will have to pay the taxes you owe.

Definitely file now. Get it over with and put the past behind you.

Although you may not have received your W-2 form, this does not mean that you will be able to avoid filing your income tax return. Therefore, I suggest you use your last paycheck from your company for 2005 to determine your year-to-date totals.  By doing this you can prepare a substitute W-2 form - this puts IRS on notice that your company still has not sent you this form.  At that point, the company (and not you) would be on the hook for not submitting the W-2 form timely.

You need to contact their main office or whomever handles personell.  They can fax you a copy of your w-2 right away.  They were supposed to be mailed out by January 31st at the latest by law.

Easy answer ...\nApril 17th, the April 15 statutory deadline for income tax filing falls on a Saturday. When that happens, the IRS pushes the deadline to the next business day. \n\nBut Also ...\nIf you are not able to file your federal individual income tax return by the due date, you may be able to get an automatic 6-month extension of time to file. To do so, you must file Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Income Tax Return , by the due date for filing your calendar year return (usually April 15) or fiscal year return.\nhttp://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=98155,00.html
