Yeah, we give them out by Jan 31, 2007....but the IRS copy isn't due until a postmark of Feb 29, 2008....so some employers might not give too much of a rat's ass.....
At my firm we try to postmark 1099s by 1/31 but get W-2s in the recipient's hands by 1/31
If you had your W-2 today, would you do your tax return right now? I've had mine for a few weeks but haven't done shit yet. The E-File at my office isn't even set up yet
