Anyone else still waiting on their W-2s?

[jekajekalynn]

I'm THIS close to filing my taxes since I got my husbands w-2 info early this month, and I still have my paystubs so I calculated my own stuff... My employer however for whatever reason always mails them out right when they are legally required to do so...

Anyone else waiting? I have always wondered too why employers wait so long to mail those out, do they have the notorious " husbands who wait until Feb 13th at 11pm to buy a Valentines Day present" running that certain department?

Yes! Public school teacher here
I'm waiting too.

(We're off school today...it's a furlough day for us, which is why I'm posting in the middle of the day).

They don't have to send them out until 1/31.

Try being the person whose company screwed up the last pay check. You told them via phone and email what they did wrong. You get your W2 in the mail and not correct. Same mistake you told them about 3 weeks ago.

DH just got his in the mail today. I've been unemployed since last June and have jsut decided to become a SAHM. I've received my unemployment info but no W2 from my last employer as of yet. I probably won't get that until February

I'm looking forward to getting our taxes done a.s.a.p. We really could use the money right now.

I'm not waiting for W-2's but am still waiting for the 1099's for interest income and the mortgage statement for mortgage interest and real estate taxes. They usually don't send them out until 1/31

 

[ICF]

Still waiting here for both of ours.....

Of course, I am also waiting on most of our tax stuff for investments / banks too.

 

[Sorsha]

YES!! Grrrrrrrrr......

I have received Dh's W2, info from the mortgage company, info from the banks, etc... I just need my W2 from some seasonal work I did for a few months for JoAnn's. SIGH. I really wanna get filed, as I have heard that if you are claiming the $8000 new house credit, processing time is reallllly long. I wanna get it going!!

 

[Nette]

Yep we're waiting too... IBM is my former employer and they are SO slow. My current employer sent W-2s electronically over 2 weeks ago. Sheesh! It's not like IBM is doing them by hand... mail them out already!

Same here...

We have one, from DH's new job, but we are waiting for the one from his last job. His paychecks where all screwed up too because we moved a few times in the last few months of his employment so I can't even get an estimate based on that. I can't wait to get it.

You may want to file your return electronically now without the new house credit. Once you get your refund, file an amended return for the house credit. This way you don't have your entire refund held up because of the house credit processing time.

I've got my W-2. I need one of my husband's 1099's and we need the 1098-T from my daughters college to do our taxes. I could do her taxes today but I have a hard time getting motivated to do one return! This is going to be the first year I ever got a big refund because I usually adjust my withholdings to make sure that I don't owe and don't get a big refund.

But for some reason I just never got around to changing my withholdings when they changed the income limits/value for the Hope Credit (or whatever they changed the name to). Probably because it seemed too good to be true so I thought it would get taken away again before tax time!

Thanks! I actually had considered that, but I think I will hold off and do it all at once. I think the house credit will actually BE most of my refund...LOL.

 

[Piecey]

grrrr, I am!

I am more irritated by the fact that they still haven't cleared up a payroll issue dating back to AUGUST! They overpaid my maternity leave by about a month and everytime I call they tell me it is "still an open case"..
I'm going to be so irritated if they send me an incorrect W2 and then write me a letter in 6 months telling me how much I owe them.

They told me it is taking so long because they have to figure up the difference between the maternity leave overpayment and the unused vacation time they still owed me. Gr, gr, gr!

Jeeze...I would be majorly ticked too!!! Yeah, cause everyone knows it is SUCH a long, difficult process to type a few numbers and entries on computer to come up with an updated payroll amount for someone.
Hope they fix it!

We are waiting on my husbands tuition paper from college. It is THE last paper we need before we file and it is the one paper that makes our refund amount "okay" to "YAY"!

 

[jenm2878]

As someone that used to do payroll for years at a public accounting firm, trust me, year end payroll is a bear. There are literally 4 times as many forms to fill out, and W-2's usually have to be done last after all the other withholding forms are filed and reconciled.

I know it's hard waiting for the W-2's, but believe me, payroll departments are not getting them done the first week in January and just sitting on them. (Most anyway) It really is an awful process.

ETA: For the record, my DH got his W-2's on Friday, but I'm still waiting for mine.

 

[ead79]

We have both of our W-2's, but we're still waiting on our 1099 from ING. Actually, we haven't gotten our morgage info yet either, but I logged in and got it online myself. I'm ready to go, so I wish ING would hurry up!

 

[kydisneyfans]

As of today's mail, we have 2 of the 13 forms needed to do taxes.
Most companies have cut back so many people that they just don't have the manpower until they are against the wall with a deadline.

Sure enough, as soon as I post that, my W2's show up in the mailbox.

and... sure enough again that they're WRONG!

I called my old manager (who caused the whole mess when she forgot to "terminate" me in the system when I sent in my 2weeks) and told her to fix it!
