Generally have to wait for your employer to send you your w-2 which shows the amount of income and amount of taxes paid for the year. They are required by lay to have them to you by the 31st of Janurary. If you have any interest earning accounts , they also have to send a 1099 form showing your yearly interest earned. It is best to wait until you have all your info so you don't have to amend your taxes after you have filed them.

Technically, Jan. 1 (the tax laws are subject to change up until 11:59:59pm on Dec. 31st).
As the other answers have said, you generally need to wait until you get your W-2, as it has info that may or may not be available on your last paycheck.

W2's by law must be post marked to you by the last day of January. But once you have them in your hands, you can file your taxes.
So if the company you work for is good, and gets them to you say the 2nd day of January....you can send in your return then.
Can't be prior to January 1st as the year would not have ended yet.

January 2nd, because the first is a holiday and you would have no way to get it post marked on the first. However it is difficult to have all of the necessary information (W-2) available by then.
