One of the reasons I never make the April 15th filing date is I want to
make sure that my 1099s & W-2s match what the IRS has so I wait till they get
their run (used to be around Sep, this yr it was Jun) & have them print
out copies for me. Usually every yr, I have at least one item that IRS
doesn't have (I include it anyway) but sometimes there's one that I didn't have.
Like last yr, IRS had 4 W-2s from Peppermill that all were $20 or less. I
asked IRS if I should include it because these were obvious errors by
Peppermill (probably left off 2 decimals when typing it). They said to include it
to avoid any flags.
Anyway, I learned that IRS has a system to obtain forms which is accessed
online or phone call.
