LIVE CHAT: Get ready for tax season!
image

Tis the season… for W-2s. It’s that time of year, when your mailbox gets a slow but steady trickle of tax forms from your employer, bank, brokerage firm and other institutions.

Most tax statements have a Jan. 31 due date to get to you, but since that’s a Sunday, the deadline rolled to Monday, Feb. 1.

If you haven’t gotten a form by now, be patient. Some forms have later due dates. Otherwise, be sure to check your email as many taxpayers get their forms electronically. You can also contact the issuer to see if they have the right address for you.

A few other dates to note: Tax season officially opened on Jan. 19 – that’s when the IRS began accepting individual electronic returns.

This year the filing deadline to submit 2015 tax returns is Monday, April 18, 2016, not the traditional April 15 date.
