I know the deadline for mailing out forms is Jan 31st. Does PC wait until then or do they mail them out quickly? I hate waiting on W2s to come! I want to do mine ASAP and get my refund but unfortunately my husband works for the school system and they hold them until the last day of the month!
 
Seems like PC's are usually at the end of the month too. There's a lot of consultants to figure them for!
 
The specific date that PC mails out W2 forms may vary, but in general, they will likely wait until closer to the deadline of January 31st to ensure that all necessary information is included and accurate. This is because employers are required to send out W2 forms by this date, so it is common for companies to wait until the last minute to ensure compliance with the deadline. Unfortunately, this means that you may have to wait until the end of January to receive your W2 form from PC. However, you can contact your employer and ask if they can provide you with an estimated date for when they will be mailing out the forms so you can plan accordingly.
