Companies were required to mail out W2s to employees by Jan 31. So, most people are getting their W2s in the mail today.

Like clockwork every year, you can tell when W2s hit. Look for tax prep software ads to hit the TV tonight with a vengeance. Then, in two weeks, ads for home theater systems and Blu-Ray players will hit. Then, all the prices for stuff on Craigslist will go up.

Here’s how W2 Day played out on Twitter so far today. Most of these are from people who got their forms today. Tonight, look for tons of “Where the hell’s my W2?” tweets.

I got my W2 form work today & don’t know what to do with them. I never filed taxes before. I always just give W2 paper to my mom.
