Missing a 1099 or W-2? What to do
Don't Waste Your Money

UPDATED 1/30/12:
So you're all ready to file your taxes. You head out to H&R Block, or sit down at TurboTax, roll up your sleeves, and suddenly, Houston, we have a problem.
You're missing a 1099. Each year at this time, millions of taxpayers run into that problem as they try to file their taxes.
It turns out they are missing their 1099 from their bank , stating how much money they made on interest or dividends last year. Or your W-2 has not yet arrived.

Employers have until
January 31st, 2012 to mail out W-2 forms.
Banks and brokerage firms have until
February 15th, 2012 to mail out 1099's.
Don't file your taxes without them. You may have to re-file. So don't waste your money.
