Use your pay stub if you are just trying to get an estimate for now. But PLEASE do not try to file your tax return with a pay stub. It will not match your W-2. Employers have until February 1 to issue your W-2. Wait for it and use your W-2 to file correctly.

Please be careful about being in too much of a hurry to file your next tax return. Many tax forms are not available at the very beginning of the tax season, so you have to wait for your forms. The software still needs updates at the beginning of the tax season.

Although the software will allow you to e-file in early January, the IRS does not begin to accept the e-files until almost the end of January. So your return just sits on the server. If you realize that you made a mistake or left something out—as many people do—you cannot change it.

Every year we see people who are in such a rush to file that they file incorrectly and incompletely. If you file too early and leave out a W-2 or a 1099, or forget to enter information, you will end up having to amend your tax return---and that takes months. Employers have until February1. 2021 to issue W-2's----and ALL of your 2020 W-2's have to be on the same tax return. Many of the 1099's and 1098's you need do not arrive until late January or sometime in February. If you are getting Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS is going to hold your refund until the end of February no matter how early you file. There seems to be a greater chance of "early" returns being reviewed and those refunds are delayed, or early returns are more often subject to identity verification--which will also delay processing. Filing too early may just be a recipe for a delayed refund. It might go more smoothly for you if you wait until at least mid-February to file instead of e-filing during the first minute that you can do it.

We know that the IRS is already revising the 2020 Form 1040 because of the 2nd stimulus. That means all tax preparation software programs will also have to be re-programmed and updated. Those changes could take until sometime in late January or even longer—we do not know yet. Do NOT be in a hurry to file your 2020 tax return until more is known. I It is never a good idea to file too early; filing your 2020 return too soon may result in a lot of extra confusion that can be avoided if you wait and file a little later.

Wait for your W2 to come! They have until feb 1 to send it to you. The W2 will NOT match your paystubs. There are several pretax deductions that affect it. And the IRS won't open filing until late January. People who file early before getting their actual W2 usually have to amend.

What state are you in? Maybe they don't have a state income tax. Ask your employer if they are taking out any state withholding or why not. Your pay should say state w/h or SIT for State Income Tax, etc.
