Haven't gotten W-4s yet ... should I be concerned?

[Caradana]

I see tax threads, and I haven't gotten much paperwork!
When do most W-4s arrive?

It just depends on when your work sends them out. In our office for example we don't get ours until the last day of January when we get our last check of the month.

I really wouldn't worry about it until next week. At that point I would ask someone at work when they are being sent out or given to you.

I think the official guidelines are that employers have until January 31 to postmark W-2's, 1099's, 1098's, etc. I know my company has been getting them out a little at a time this month and plan to get the remainder in the mail next week.

My motgage was bought out by another company and I have only received one 1098 so I called about the other. I was told that it will be available online on 1/31 and that they will not be mailed until that date.

So I wouldn't worry just yet.

tiggerlover,

I had to resort to printing my 1098's out as well since I never got them in the mail.

I tried to do just that, but all that was on the form was a bunch of zero's, that is why I called. So I imagine by 1/31 they will be uploaded to their site and I will be able to print it myself as snail mail seems to be taking forever these days.

tiggerlover,

I didn't want to wait because after work on the 31st I am headed for H&R Block to do my taxes.

We never get ours until the very last possible time. DH has recieved one of his, we're still waiting on his PT job. My middle DD and I work at the same place, oldest DD JoAnn's and she hasn't received hers yet either.

tiggerlover,

I didn't want to wait because after work on the 31st I am headed for H&R Block to do my taxes.

I am usually anxious to do the same, but this year I think is the first year we are going to have to pay. So I am in no hurry to run and file, I am just curious to know what the damage will actually be.

tiggerlover,

Actually here is what I did. I went to the link below and used my last paystub that had all the information on it. From there I could figure the rest out based on my last years paperwork.
