text: when do we start getting our w2's for 2006? i can't remember, when do the w2's start coming so we can do our taxes for the 2007 year? they are to be postmarked no later than jan. 31st, 2007.  remember, just because they are postmarked doesn't mean they will be sent out right away. some companies are like that, i suppose. also, if you have moved, be sure to notify your employers of the new address. many times it will cause a delay in receiving all the paperwork to file your taxes, especially if it was a place that you haven't worked for since the beginning of the year.
