Where's My W-2?
As a self-employed person, I'm required to file and pay "estimated" taxes which is total bullshit and is yet another way the government rapes the citizens of this country. Apparently, it's perfectly okay to have nothing taken out of your paycheck and then make a year end payment if you're an "employee", but screw you if you want to be your own boss. And it's not a tax for what you've earned in the quarter that you're filing for, but rather a forced payment of a quarter of what you might make for the entire year. And the government is a bastard to seasonal employees about this. But that's a post for another day...Fortunately, I learned that the January filing and payment are not required if you file your 2008 taxes by the 2nd of February. So I need my damn W-2 to avoid having to figure out the ridiculousness that is Estimated Taxes for another three months. How tough can it be to print and mail me this document? I think companies wait just to piss people off and believe me, I'm already plenty pissed at this company. I don't need another reason.
