Learn How to File Income Taxes Online
Start filing your taxes now, for free!
Step One: Gather your documents
- W-2s for each job held last year. This form reports your name, wages, and other tax info to the IRS. Copy this form exactly into the wage section of the Beehive Tax Tool.
- 1099s and 1098s showing other income. Other income can come from school loans, unemployment, social security, gambling winnings, or contract work held last year and will be reported to the IRS.
- Your bank account number if you choose to have your refund directly deposited into your account
- Last year’s return to enter in prior year information, (if you have it)
Step Two: Collect information for everyone in your household
- Name and taxpayer number as they appear on the Social Security Card (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number letter (ITIN)
- Date of Birth and Relationship (son, daughter, cousin, mother, etc.)
- Current address (it may be different from the address on your employment records)
- If you paid for childcare, get the provider name, address, and tax identification number
Just File!
Even though you might not legally need to file, you may have a refund coming to you. New families, students, and dependents who worked last year could benefit from filing taxes, some getting hundreds back. Generally, most taxpayers are required to file if they earned more than $5,000 last year.
Let the Tool Do the Math
Using the Beehive Tax Tool is simple, fast and secure

Yes my name is CDjohn1, Yes
ready to start
"Absolutely.
If you didn't even have a last pay stub, or a W-2, you still legally HAVE to file your income tax.
When you do get the information on say a W-2, if it doesn't match what you filed, you will have to amend and correct your filing.
However, you should wait for several reasons: The return likely won't be processed until the employer has filed all his reports (generally due by 01/31), and they can be matched to what your claiming.
The information on the W-2 may have year end adjustments, additions, etc that don't match your last stub. Tha will delay your retuirn for a long time while the dicrepency is resolved - and rthen you will have to file an amended return.
Some information you need to report, certain employer ID#s etc may not be available on a pay stub.
If it is available, you are really required to use it or explain why you didn't have one, using another complex form.
You want to use the best information available and follow the established process as best you can, or expect problems! "
Can I use my last paysub to do my taxes
The electronic filing is a great convienence but also cost up to sixty dollars when you can spend a couple of stamps. Of coarse if you need the money quickly it helps to electronically file.
