How do I file my taxes? I lost my job and haven’t received my W-2’s.

Your employers (or former employers) have until January 31 to provide you with your W-2's.  Even if you no longer work there, they have to provide you with your W-2's.  Make sure they have the correct address for you so they can mail them to you.  If you have been receiving unemployment compensation, you will need to enter it on your tax return--unemployment comp is taxable.
