W2s

[sportschick]

Anybody else still waiting on one? What's the penalty for the company if it doesn't show up by Sunday?

Bad enough we got hit with pay cuts and raise freezes. No need to keep me from my refund too, dammit!

I believe it has to merely be postmarked by Jan. 31 for the company to avoid any penalties.

Numerous searches for employer penalties said basically nothing, which basically means that the government sides with them and will do everything they can not to hold them accountable. Big surprise.

I have neither one of my 1099s from 95 percent of my work...

And the employer penalty is nothing... like 50 bucks... IF reported

The stuff I pulled up wanted to point responsibility to the employee in every case: wrong SS number, new address, etc. Holding the employee accountable, sure, but employer? Nah ... that never happens.

I got all my stuff, the last one came today.

Still waiting on one from my church.

 

[RossLT]

I am still waiting for two of my four.

 

[jps]

just got my last one today ... will file tomorrow and get that refund to finish paying off the car in a few weeks. will be nice to have two paid-for rigs, and nicer to be able to then start saving for a house.

I'm waiting to find out what I'm supposed to get in regards to the moving company. I have both W-2s and the info from my 401K.

The postmark deadline is Monday, Feb. 2.

Waiting for my last one. And I could really use the cash.

I have everything but the special health care code for filing in Mass.

Last year it was the first letter I received, this year I'm still waiting on Blue Cross. I need my refund to pay for my new prescription plan. I had a $125 for two scrips yesterday. Man I miss the $5 for generic and $15 for name brand I had just last year.

Mr. "It's Stupid To Get a Big Refund!" was actually expecting a whopper this year.

Figured that going from 4% to 15% on my 401(k) would mean $1,000 less tax, and filing married/jointly (spouse has $0 US income) would net another $2,500.

But for some reason, I had much less taken out of my paycheck this year (was there another tax cut?), and much to my chagrin, the IRS says I have to claim my wife's income earned in Russia.

So that $4,000+ refund estimate I had floating in my head will barely break $2,500.

E-filed today. Great return for me.

I was so ready to get started until you mentioned the 401K. Son of a crap.

 

[GB-Hack]

Got it today.

 

[JakeandElwood]

How can the US government tax money made in Russia?

The postmark deadline is Monday, Feb. 2.

Wait, wait, wait. I thought we were supposed to have the W2 in our mailboxes by Feb. 1. It's just the mail by date? Yet I have to file my FAFSA by Feb. 15? Complete and utter bull****.

I ****ing hate the IRS and the company I work for.

That's why FinAid counselors recommend that people ballpark their numbers and submit on or as close to Jan 1 as possible then, if there's a large discrepancy, you can file a change and it still keeps the original file date.

As for me, one of two W-2s (and a big screw you to Starbucks for slacking on the other) and I don't know if/what I might get from my current job.

I still took delight in demanding the 1099s from my two final holdouts and reminding them of the deadline. Not that it matters: I have all my checks recorded and can file without the 1099s, but still.
