Wait for the W2! We can't stress that enough. The IRS isn't even going to start taking returns until late January so you have plenty of time.
You have to wait for your employer to send you the W2. It is the tax summary of your wages for the year. They have to send it to you by Jan 31. You can't use your last paystub because there might be differences in the taxable amounts sent to the IRS. And you don't know what amounts to put in which boxes. There are several items that are deducted pre-tax that will affect your taxable gross income. Usually your last paystub does NOT match your W2! And you can't file until you get the actual W2.
