Waiting on husband’s W-2’s… Got mine last week. Most of the friends who I file for are also still waiting on their paperwork as well. ---

Even if I get money back, I always wait until a couple of weeks before hand. Only because I want to avoid having to refile if I get a corrected tax statement. Which at least once a year, I’ll get one. ---

I am still waiting for paperwork from at least three different countries and have to translate some expense worksheets from about 20 different currencies into USD. As it costs me about $2000 each year to have my taxes prepared, I am also waiting for some more payments to come in first. ---

I finally got my W2 yesterday so I’ll probably end up doing my taxes over the next couple of days. ---

Oh, damn. The lady at the Revenu Québec office said they won’t even have the forms there until February 1. ---

I haven’t received my school financial paperwork. Paper W2s also haven’t arrived yet, but my employer has them online… I just haven’t bothered looking them up yet since I can’t file until the school paperwork is here. ---

Got my W-2 on the 16th: filed the same day. One income household, no strange stuff. Medical bills covered by FSA, which is already accounted for in my earnings. Federal should be back by Feb 2: state sooner than that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-else-is-done-filing-2008-taxes/482624.md?page=1)
