G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.
So you’re sitting there thinking, I haven’t received my W-2, I haven’t received my 1099s. It’s halfway through February almost, and we do not have our documents, so I can’t do my taxes.
Well beginning in twenty-five, employers and payers face extended rules of electronically issuing W-2s and 1099s. They do have the ability to just file them electronically to you, making you print out those forms.
So if you have not updated your email, not just your address, but your email with an old employer or someone else, then you need to contact them because it could be your responsibility to get that form. If you want to check out more about us, go to drfriday.com.
You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.
