After you file

Wait for your W-2's, 1099's, etc. which you will receive by late January/early February.   You cannot prepare your return correctly without them.  And it ALL must be entered on the SAME tax return.   E-filing will not be open until late January, so there is really no rush.  And....experience here has shown that many users who rush to file using paystubs, etc., or who file without all of their income information are the ones whose returns end up going under  IRS review or who later need to amend---a process that takes months.
