No. Employers has until the end of Jan to provide your W-2. If the company goes out of business or for some other reasons do not provide you with a W-2 after you try contacting them, then you can use the last pay check stub to fill out a Substitute W-2. IRS would not accept a W-2 substitution until after Feb 15.
Best wishes.

If your W-2 form is not available, you can file using your final pay stub, however the W-2 form will be the "gospel" that the IRS will use, and your employer may make modifications for any year end adjustments. While you are required to submit your W-2 with your tax return, if you are filing electronically, you do not.
The IRS will begin accepting paper returns any time after January 1, however the IRS will not begin to accept electronic filings until January 12. If you file electronically, you will receive your refund in two weeks, if you file a paper return, you will receive your refund in four weeks (the IRS will take four to six weeks to process a paper return).

Use it as an estimate but wait for your W2, 1099 and other forms to come in so you have an actual instead of approximate amount of payment or refund. You can file on January 31st or when all of your tax related documents have been obtained for 2006. You can (and should) read the IRS instructions for hints of deductions that you may qualify for that would reduce your taxes. What's the point of risking the need for an extension or ammendment unnecessarily?

Not necessarily. You generally have to wait for your tax form from your employer, sometime in late January.
