Doi have to have all my w2s to get an advance?

[Mike9241]

yes because you won't get the advance until you e-file your return and it's accepted. The IRS won't open e-filing until 1/29 so you have time to fully enter all your data.

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.
