No, I haven't received mine yet either. I won't receive them until next week probably.

Companies must MAIL them by January 31st. If you haven't received it within a decent amount of time after that, start calling your company and finding out where it is.

Since the 31st is a Saturday, employers have until 2/2/09 to mail the employee copies.

We've received mine, but not my husband's. My understanding is that businesses have to have them issued by January 31st each year.

Employers have until Feb 2 this year to get them in the mail due to Jan 31 being a Saturday. There is alot of bookkeeping that must be done before W2s can be issued..all the annual reports must be completed and balanced! And I dont' think the IRS is ready yet to start accepting returns! Please be patient with your employer!

This is the first correct answer I have seen!

Sherri Jan, 28 2009 at 12:17 PM

thanks. but actually it was an incorrect answer since the question was asked in 2008--I hate answering the 'old' questions and am trying to train myself to look at the darn dates!

Employers must mail employee copies by 2/2/2009.
Employees must report errors to employer. Employers then make final report to IRS by March 2, 2009 (or March 31 if filing electronically).

IRS instructions to employers:
http://www.irs.gov/instructions/iw2w3/ch01.html

Furnish Copies B, C, and 2 of Form W-2 to your employees, generally, by February 2, 2009. You will meet the “furnish” requirement if the form is properly addressed and mailed on or before the due date.
