by Jan 31st you have not received your W2, call the employer and ask them if they have been sent. If by Feb 15th you have not received it, call the Internal Revenue Service at 1-800-829-1040 and file a W2 complaint. They wil take a report and send you a form that you can use as a subsitute, you will need your last paycheck stub when you call, along with the name, address and phone# of the employer and what dates you worked for them

Many people file tax returns even though they don't have earnings or a W-2. There are many different types of income (dividends, interest, capital gains, real estate, farming, self-employment, etc.). It sounds like she should file jointly with her husband. That is the most beneficial way for a married couple to do their taxes. The primary reasons to not file jointly are that they are keeping their finances separate (typical in second marriages or when there is a big difference in assets between the spouses), legal issues (if one has a business that make him or her more prone to lawsuits), or they are separated. If she doesn't have any income then there isn't a reason for her to file if her husband is filing on his own. The deadline for filing a tax return is April 15th unless you file a six-month extension. However, if you don't file, then you don't get a free pass. If you are owed a refund, you have three years from April 15th after the end of the year. (In plain English, that means you have until April 15th 2013 to file a tax return to get a refund for 2009.) If you owe money, then the time limit depends on the amount and source. If your friend has income from a bank account, mutual fund, stocks, or a job, the IRS gets the same information that she does. In that case, the IRS will send her a letter sometime along with a bill for the unpaid taxes according to the agency's calculation, which assumes the worst case for everything. I hope this helps.

You can use your final pay stub as a replacement W-2. Explain that you did not receive the W-2. I would still call the agency though and find out what has happened to the W-2. The should be willing to send a replacement if you want to wait for that.
If when you get the official W-2 and it is different than your check you may have to file an amended return.

No, you cannot file without a W2 unless the IRS authorizes you to do so. You should contact the employer to see where the W2 is. If you still have not received the W2 by 2/15, call the IRS and report the missing W2. The IRS will investigate. Normally a call from the IRS is all that is necessary to motivate a lazy employer. If it is still not forthcoming, the IRS will advise you on how to submit a substitute form and file your taxes without the W2.

No, you should not file until you have all the necessary information. It doesn't matter how many paychecks you received, it was income, and they did withhold taxes. Filing now will only cause you problems later. Be patient.

Federal states that employers must mail employees W-2's no later than January 31st.
