How do you file taxes early?

Was told you could file using your last pay stub, I was wondering is this information accurate? Can I file my taxes tomorrow using my last pay stub. I file with h&r block if that helps!

    You must wait for W2 and 1099s before filing your tax return. Earliest you can file is Jan 15, 2010. Employers/companies must mail W2 or 1099 by Feb 2, 2010. If you do not receive it by Feb 15, then you can call IRS.

    If you file based on last pay slip or do not report any income, you may have to file amended tax return Form 1040 if there is any different figure in W2 or 1099 or you do not report all your income. For example, you receive another W2 after you have filed.

    Dear the s: We can use your last pay stub as a guide only. We will type in all of your numbers from the pay stub and then when you get your W2 we will just verify the numbers and shoot it off. This does save time and is called a jump start return. A lot of companies now let you pull your W2 on line and this too saves time. Nothing happens before the 15th of Jan.

    You cannot file until the end of the year. You may be able to borrow (at a very high interest rate) tax refund money before you file, but you have to file after January 1.

    You must wait for your W2, Form 1099's INT, DIV etc. before you can file an accurate tax return.

    IRS e-filing begins Jan 15, 2010 (if you have all your document to file a tax return).

    good luck

    The IRS will not be accepting tax returns until January 15. I would wait until you have your W-2. Most likely they will try and sell you a refund anticipation loan if you file now before you have your final paperwork. Those loans have ridiculously high interest rates and they aren't worth it.

    No. You must wait for your W2.

    Block is offering a (high interest) loan if your refund is high enough and you qualify but you would still have to go back and file your return next year.

    Nowhere. you could no longer document taxes till January 15 t the earliest i think, yet easily no longer till after the 1st of the 365 days. you do no longer additionally be attentive to what you tax criminal accountability is for the 365 days yet, there is not any way you need to document a correct return.
