Hello, I have been self employed for 8 years and at the end of 2023, I started a job with the county here in California. I don't have a W2 yet for less than $600 and I have self employment income. Can I file taxes before I receive my W2? I would like to get my refund in the works and I'm not used to waiting on an employer to do that. They have over 1000 employees and said they will get the W2s out by the end of January. I have this week off and would like to do it NOW. Do I have to wait for the W2? Or can I proceed just using my pay stubs? My self-employment income was also unusually low for me, so with my exemption for my daughter, I definitely won't have taxes due (and I never do anyway).
