How do you file taxes using your last check stub?

Answer 1

You can use your last paystubs only if they can find the EIN numbers. Anyone who says that use your last paystub you only get a portion of your money until the IRS starts accepting them electronically. So if you want to use your last paystub go to www.shaydzofluv.com for a free estimate and as long as they can find your EIN number for your company then they will get you your money by most likley next week after the IRS accepts them.

Answer 2

You can guesstimate you taxes using the last pay stub of last year, but you very well may miss out on getting your full return. The H&R Block offer promoted in their commercials using your last pay stub is for a LOAN based upon the estimated return. The loan will be less than the estimated tax return, though I am not sure what all of the requirements are for paying back the loan. I am sure the interest rate for the loan is not good.

You are more than likely better off waiting until you get your W2 and any other tax documents and then filing for the return of your overpayment. I suspect that to qualify for the loan, you need a pretty straightforward tax return and if so, you might as well wait. Getting a loan for your own money doesn't make much sense.

If you are looking to just file you taxes, then you will need the tax id for your employers. You may not find that information on your paystub.

Answer 3

H & R Block is the company that claims to be able to file using only a recent check stub.

Answer 4

I started working for H&R Block last year, and our #1 rule of thumb was to never use last pay stubs, because in the long run, it was trouble, there was a car lot that used them to pay down payments and he lost his ein# and had to move locations and pay fines 3 times for doing this, although at first you may do it and some may allow you to do this, it is never a good idea, because eventually you will owe money back because the amounts will hardly ever match, that is the way they get you!!

Answer 5

You can go to one of those fly by night tax places that will give you a refund anticipation loan thing. They will estimate what your refund will be by using the last pay stub, but they will also charge you a hefty fee.
Just wait for your W2 and do it right and keep all your refund for yourself.

Answer 6

You can only use your last check stub for guesstimating purposes. I think you need to wait for your W-2 to report to IRS on a tax form, even if you do it via online software.

Answer 7

You don't. Companies using the last paystub are offering advance refund loans. Your information is sent to the bank only...nothing is filed with the IRS until the W-2 is inhand.
