The first day to file your tax returns and get that refund is January 20, 2015 which is approximately 8 days away. Employers probably won't be sending out your end of year salary statements (W2's or 1099's) until the end of the month.
Did you know that most payroll departments have a way for you to access your w2 or 1099 information right now before you receive the physical copies in the mail by giving you a code that you can use to access your information online. This will give you access to all of the gross wages and withholdings (Federal and State) that you need in order to complete your taxes for the 2014 tax year.
So, ask your payroll department if this feature is available to you. Please contact me (213) 820-1513 or valerie.chowdhury@gmail.com if you have questions or need more information.
