* You should receive all your W-2 and 1099 forms by the first week of February. Check the figures on these forms against your records to make sure the amounts reported are correct. Carefully compare the gross federal, state and local wages, the federal, state and local tax withheld, and the Social Security and Medicare withheld amounts on your W-2s to the cumulative year-to-date numbers on your final pay stubs for the year. Also verify that the Social Security numbers on the forms are correct. If you find an error or a discrepancy you cannot reconcile, contact the appropriate employer or financial institution for an explanation or a corrected copy.
If you do not receive a W-2 from an employer by the first week of February you should contact the employer immediately to obtain a duplicate copy. If you cannot contact the employer because it has gone out of husiness or disappeared all is not lost. You can use your pay stubs or other records to reconstruct the various items of income and withholding and file a Form 4852 Substitute for Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement with your federal and state returns. In such a situation I recommend you consult a tax professional.

Be sure to check the accuracy of all Social Security numbers on all pages of your return before mailing it.

During times of change in an organization people tend to freeze and not want to take responsibility. As a change leader you need people who are empowered, yet many a leader just sits back and blames the people and become a dictator extraordinaire. As a Marine sniper in Vietnam I saw leaders empower us young kids who knew nothing. One leader, Colonel Masterpool, had people that would follow him to hell and back just because of who he was and how he treated and communicated with us.When I worked for Frito Lay back in the late seventies and into and through the eighties, they came along and decided they’d ‘empower’ our mechanics that worked in the shops of our extensive private truck fleet. They wanted to elevate them, they said, to positions of more responsibility. It was a big change in our modus operandi.Headquarters Human Resources we

* The name and Social Security number of each spouse is entered on separate lines on the top of the tax return. However, there is no set rule as to which spouse's name goes on the first line. Generally the name and Social Security number of the husband is entered first, but these is nothing to say that the wife's name and number can't be entered on the first line.
If the husband has had a problem with the IRS in the past, or owes federal or state from a prior year's return filed as Single, Head of Household or jointly with a different spouse, or past due child support, his name should be entered on the second line. In such a situation the name and number of the wife should be entered first under "Your" name and "Your" Social Security number.
