Let me explain things better ... first if the IRS doesn't have the W-2 from the employer your return will just be put on hold until they get the information from the employer so trying to file faster than the IRS gets the info from the SSA is futile. Next, if you work for the military, your w-2 form should be available online thru DFAS and if they will be delayed in getting them there then I am sure they have already applied for an exemption. Do NOT try to file off the LES. Watch the DFAS site for details in January ... www.mypay.gov
