January 1st. You have to complete the year to be able to count all the income for the year. You may have to wait until you receive statements from al the income sources.

As soon as you get your W-2's,but you can start your paperwork as soon as you get your last paycheck for the year.
If you don't have a 401(k) or other withholdings,you can use the last check stub-but you still need the W-2's to file.
Some employers either hand them out at work as soon as they are ready on the next payday,some mail them out when ready,all w-2's have to be in the mail by the end of Jan.-when the post office delivers them is another matter.
Also some employers post the W-2's for download into tax software like Tax Cut and Turbo Tax.

Usually at the beginning of January. You have to get your W-2's first. The earliest I seen them come out is January 2.
