📌 Important Tax Filing Reminder from Paige One Tax Service
🚫 Do NOT file your tax return using only your last paycheck stub of the year.
According to the IRS, taxpayers should file using official tax documents — most commonly Form W-2, which employers also submit directly to the IRS and Social Security Administration. Your tax return must match what the IRS has on file.
❗ Filing with paystub numbers instead of a W-2 can result in:
• Delayed or frozen refunds
• IRS mismatch notices (CP2000)
• Penalties and interest
• Being required to amend your return later
✅ What the IRS recommends:
• Wait for your W-2 (employers are required to issue them by January 31)
• If a W-2 is missing or incorrect, the IRS allows Form 4852 (Substitute for W-2) — but only as a last resort and when prepared correctly
📌 IRS guidance is clear: filing with estimated or incomplete information often causes more problems than it solves.
✨ The safest move? File accurately the first time.
