I again put off doing my taxes until the last minute.

I assumed I could pull up my W-2 online, like I did for 2014. That is a no-go; last year's W-2 is not available. I can't scrounge around for my paper copy because I am in California.

Oops.

Now I have to send an embarrassing e-mail to H.R. to ask for another copy to be mailed out.

I'm another one late, just realized today. Well gotta get all of my 1099 together and rush to my tax accountant. That's gonna hurt...

Well, it's too late to tell you to just file and extension... that's what I did yesterday... and I'm lucky - my landlord/roommate is my Taxman, and a bass player, so he knows exactly how to make it all good!

I hate to be contrarian but .... my company always withholds too much tax because we get a yearly bonus so I make a point of filing by mid-Feb and get a refund within 5 business days. However this year we got 1099'd as a band two weeks ago (dumb-a$$ed mofo's). In my case it made no difference to my bottom line as I had already accounted for the income, I just had to file an amended return. which was still a PITA ...

anyone else have 1099 horror stories they care to share?
