Almost nobody does since 2016 is not even over yet and employers have until Jan 31 to issue them.

The IRS will not be processing any returns before Jan. 23 anyway, so there is no advantage to file before that - it will just sit on the TurboTax server until the IRS is ready. If you discover anything that needs to be changed or added in the mean time, you will not be able to change it. Once you e-file it is like dropping it into the mail - it is gone and cannot be retrieved.
