I filed mine on January 19. Anyone else? ---

Still waiting on some 1099’s and K-1’s. ---

I sent it in a couple days ago, but I’m only getting back a paltry sum. That’s good of course, since it means they weren’t holding onto my money without paying me interest on it - but it’s still pleasant psychologically to get a fat refund check. ---

I did, but then two days later I remembered something that I hadn’t put in, so as soon as they accept it, I have to file an amended one. Oops. ---

I normally wait until mid Feb (by law IIRC 1099s and W-2 have to be mailed out by 1/31) to make sure I have everything, but just looking at my online comparison of what I filed last year to what I’ve filled in this year and going from memory, I think I only have two more 1099s to wait for. ---

Soon as I get my W-2’s. Probably be another month or so. ---

My husband got his W-2 last week, but I haven’t received mine yet. As soon as I get both of them, I’ll call our preparer. ---

I came home from work this morning, checked my mail and saw that I’d received my W-2 yesterday. An hour later I e-Filed both Federal and State! 🙂 ---

I have my W-2 and I think I have all my 1099’s so I will probably do it this weekend. I itemize so it takes a little bit. ---

We still haven’t gotten either of our W2s, nor most of the 1099s. Not that I’ve had the time in the past few weeks to do it, anyway. 🙂 ---

Good _grief_, you people are on top of your shit. I’m not running to the post office at 11:45 p.m. or anything, but I’m at least waiting till it’s _warmer_, ferchrissakes. Then again, I live in Texas. Stuff is blooming by late February (suck it, CanaDopers!) so it’s not like I’m giving myself a huge extention or anything. On a side note, you do not need to screech into the post office at 11:45 p.m. on April 15th this year. Monday the 18th is the [official deadline](http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=233910,00.html)this year. ---

I got sick so I haven’t filed yet. Math is bad enough when your head doesn’t already hurt. But what does this have to do with Farmville? ---

Still waiting on a few 1099’s. If I wasn’t so lazy I’d set up online account access so I could download the 1099’s myself, but if I wait, they’ll mail 'em to me by the end of the month. ---

Did it January 15th. Expecting a decent refund. ---

Monday the 18th is the [official deadline](http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=233910,00.html)this year. Do you get a refund? I get like $3000 back (I pay a ton in mortgage interest…which is changing for me in 2011) so it’s worth it for me to get my money back as soon as I can. My dad used to wait until the last minute, because he always owed. Once he retired and started getting a bit back, he’s on me for helping him with the Turbo Tax right quick. ---

Of course not. I’ve yet to get even one form from an employer or my college loan holders yet. ---

I’m Canadian, but our tax return is due about the same time as yours. I’m planning on filing once I had all of the forms from my employer, the banks, etc, but supposedly I should expect that before the end of Feb.
