I still haven’t received my second W-2 from my other job that I’m no longer working at that. I only been there for six months.

Yes, you will need to wait. You are required to enter all income received in 2023 on the 2023 tax return.

Employers have until 01/31/2024 to provide you with the 2023 W-2. Make sure that the employer has your correct mailing address.

Definitely wait for your W-2 or you will end up amending your return. The IRS won’t accept filing until January 29.

Do not file a tax return without ALL of your income documents; you must include every 2023 W-2 on the same tax return. Employers have until the end of January to issue W-2’s. Wait until you have all of your W-2’s. Clients, schools, Social Security, healthcare.gov, banks, mortgage lenders, and other financial institutions may not have tax documents available until late January/early February. ALL of your tax documents must be entered on the same Form 1040; do not file unless you have entered everything.

The IRS begins to accept/reject 2023 returns on January 29, so there is no hurry to e-file now.
