No, you should wait for your W-2 to prepare your return
The information on the W-2 does not always match the final paystub.

SSA1099's will be sent to you from Social Security in January. Wait for it.
Please do not try to use your pay stub to prepare your tax return. It will not match the W-2 that you will get from your employer in just a few short weeks. You employer has until the end of January to give you your W-2. By waiting for your W-2 you will be able to file accurately. If you try to guess what goes in the “boxes” and mess up your return, you will need to amend. It takes about 4 months to amend a tax return. The IRS is not accepting returns yet, so you can wait for your W-2.
You may be aware that in late December Congress passed a major tax reform bill. That has the IRS scrambling to get tax return forms ready for this tax filing season. They were waiting for the laws to pass.
Some forms are not finalized so you cannot file. The IRS has to finalize a number of forms and then approve the finalized forms in the TT software. Many state forms are not finalized either. No reason to be in a rush. The IRS will not be accepting returns until January 29 at the earliest, so filing early will not get you a faster refund. The earliest refunds will not be released until mid to late February. You just have to wait for the forms to be ready.
