[No! The IRS requires that you have all W-2's prior to filing your tax
return.
While it is true that you may file your taxes
using a substitute W-2, this is only after
all attempts have been made to obtain the actual form or forms
from your employer and only after Mid-February. Tax Professionals and ERO's are required to have your W-2 in
hand prior to submitting your return to the IRS. Any tax
preparer who tells you otherwise is not being truthful.

[Our prices start at $65 for a 1040. We charge additional
per form attached to the 1040 and each form has a unique price per
form. For a more detailed cost estimate for your return,
simply call us at 972-254-1776.]
[When seeking a tax professional, you should remember to bring
your wage statements including ALL W-2's and 1099's, as well
as your identification including Social Security Cards for you and
any dependents you will claim and a valid picture ID. This
will ensure a smooth and pleasant visit to our offices.]
[The importance of having ALL W-2's prior to having your tax
return prepared is that failure to report all income could cost you
money. W-2's and other income not reported during the current year
may not be used during the next filing season. Omitted income must
be listed on a 1040X or Amendment to the tax return year for which
it the income was earned and reported. The amendment may result in
additional refund or could cause you to owe additional taxes and or
penalties. Contact us to determine how you may be affected.]
[Form 1040X or Amended Return is used anytime an original return
which has already been filed with the IRS needs to be corrected for
any reason. As mentioned above, the most common reason is
because a taxpayer filed their return too early, resulting in
additional income statements such as W-2's being received after
filing. Additional reasons may include adding or removing
dependents from an original return, claiming additional tax credits
or even changing the taxpayer, spouse or dependent's tax identifying
number such as their SSN or ITIN. Results of an amendment vary
and could cause you to owe additional taxes or pay back part or all
of the refund you already received.]
[The Flat Tax and National Sales Tax sounds good on the surface.
Did you know that you will probably pay more in the long run? That's
right! Many taxpayers do not pay any federal income taxes or their
tax liability is reduced by itemized deductions. The Social Security
Tax and Medicare Tax withheld by your employer will not change. The
only persons who benefit are those in the upper income bracket. The
lower income and middle class taxpayers will carry the biggest
burden under these two plans.]
