What happens if you dont file for tax return in the U.S.? I worked 3 jobs over the pat year and 1 gives you no option to request for a w-2 copy to be sent out (my address changed multiple times in that year and i never got the original) and apparently if you ask for a copy through the IRS you need to give them 75 days to "process" your request (in addition to a fee of course). i usually wind up owing 100-200 to state and being owed 1000+ from federal. i sure would like to have the money im owed but looks like i cant get the proper forms before the deadline; so how stretched is my asshole gonna get from this?
