I believe I'm supposed to have my W2 forms in my possession by January 30th. Am I wrong? If she doesn't mail them to me, what should I do?

Yes. Today was their deadline for mailing them to you. But it can take a couple of weeks for you to actually receive them...the w2 just has to leave their hands by today.

You should receive a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from each of your employers for use in preparing your federal tax return. Employers must furnish this record of earnings and withheld taxes no later than January 31st. (if mailed, allow a few days for delivery).
If you do not receive your Form W-2, contact your employer to find out if and when the W-2 was mailed. If it was mailed, it may have been returned to your employer because of an incorrect address. After contacting your employer, allow a reasonable amount of time for your employer to resend or to issue the W-2.
If you still do not receive your W-2 by February 15th, contact the IRS for assistance at 1-800-829-1040. When you call, have the following information handy:
• The employer's name and complete address, including zip code, the employer’s identification number (if known), and telephone number,
• Your name and address, including zip code, Social Security number, and telephone number; and
• An estimate of the wages you earned, the federal income tax withheld, and the dates you began and ended employment.
If you misplaced your W-2, contact your employer. Your employer can replace the lost form with a “reissued statement.” Be aware that your employer is allowed to charge you a fee for providing you with a new W-2.
You still must file your tax return on time even if you do not receive your Form W-2. If you cannot get a W-2 by the tax-filing deadline, you may use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, but it will delay any refund due while the information is verified.
If you receive a corrected W-2 after your return is filed and the information it contains does not match the income or withheld tax that you reported on your return, you must file an amended return on Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

No, the deadline is that they are to be in the mail, not in your hands, by Jan 31.
If you don't get yours in about a week, call the employer and ask what happened to it. If you don't have it in another week or so, call the IRS.

Yes they do. They have until Feb 15. If it does not arrived by them, call the IRS toll free line. I would also contact the IRS Criminal Investigation Division and hint maybe other illegal activities at the former employer. Make them loose some sleep.

you sound just like my boy-friend and my friends. Basically if an employer doesn't mail you your W-2 forms then you could simply use your last pay-stub to do your taxes it has all the information needed to do them, remember its always YTD.

Sorry, you're wrong. They have to be MAILED by 1/31/2007. If she doesn't mail them, ask her for it.
Sorry but Jess and Barbara are wrong about their dates!
