Hey Daddy and Junior - Don't Forget Tax Time!!!

Great comments from henshelsforjail (love the username) today got me thinking about a potential problem former FNLC'ers may face during the next few months. I'm talking about the possibility of our W-2 forms being delayed or not being sent at all. This was something my team discussed when we were laid off a few months before the company went bankrupt. Given the fact that many of us had problems signing up for unemployment benefits due to erroneous bookkeeping, it wouldn't surprise me if this nasty W-2 business is swept under the rug, at least until the last possible minute.

To put things into perspective, I earned money from four different entities in '07, including a brief stint collecting unemployment after Daddy and Junior sent me on permanent vacation. Not surprisingly, three of the four W-2's have already been sent to me. Guess who the fourth is?

Here's the thing - I don't like to wait until the last minute to file taxes. I either WANT MY REFUND RIGHT NOW or I want to have some time to pay my amount due before April 15th. I imagine many of you feel the same way. Hell, I bet there are some of you that are expecting a refund and could really use the cash since, y'know, First NLC isn't around to deposit that paycheck into your bank account twice a month.

Has anybody received their W-2 yet? Right now, I'm not expecting much, other than one final screw job by Daddy and Junior. On the other hand, at least I didn't foolishly and arrogantly run my company into the ground, so I guess I have that to be thankful for!
