I have not received my W2 forms yet. How can I file for a tax extension without these? The problem i'm facing is that they require an estimate for the taxes I owe and I have no clue as to what the estimate would be. I can't even give a rough figure. Also, I have worked in two different states - Colorado and Georgia , would just one extension form(4868) be enough for both?

Try to find your final pay stubfrom last year. There it will show your year to date withholdings. Use those withholdings as your tax estimate.
If you do not have your pay stub, estimate> ESTIMATE.
If you think you owe money, and can afford to pay it with the extension, show
just the amount that you can pay on the first line of Form 4868, and zero for payments, and the difference will be the payment.
If you think you do not owe money, just show zeros on each line.
You cannot use Form 4868 for Colorado & Georgia. Form 4868 is for Federal purposes only. Go to the Revenue Department of Colorado & Georgia on the internet, and download an extension form.
Use the same logic as you used when preparing From 4868. Mail in the forms to the address provided in each forms instructions.
Why so long in getting your W-2? Contact your employer and demand them to give you your year to date withholdings.

Sure, you can file a 4868 without W2's. You just file one since it's a federal tax associated with your SSN.
Do you have last year's numbers? Use those. Better than a complete guess. Multiple employers in different states means that you may owe state taxes in multiple states.

Do you have your last pay stubs for 2006? You can use those YTD figures to get the information on your W2's. You should also call your employers/former employers and have them send you the W2s. The federal extension should work for the states too.

it is possible he didn't pay payroll taxes or report it to the IRS, which will make it tough on you. You need to ask him, and in the meantime, do you have any pay stubs or was it paid in cash?
