As I write this email, I’m still awaiting my 1099-MISCs from 3 different ad companies. I’m not sure if the federal law states that we need to get them by January 31, or if they need to be post-marked by January 31. But it’s now February and I’m still waiting. It’s not like I’m dying to pay my taxes, but I just want all my tax papers so I can be organized and get it over with. Based on estimations, I’m looking to owe a couple thousand dollars in taxes because of what I made online. It’s not going to be fun paying that!

So far, I’ve received my 1099 from Google, Azoogle, and ValueClick Media. Google was the first to get it to me, and that was probably 10-14 days ago. Azoogle came a day or two later, followed by VCM on the 30th. I am still waiting for a 1099 from Yahoo and Adbrite. I’ve double checked my information with both companies, and my address is correct. Hopefully the mailman didn’t lose them!

I’m not sure if I’m going to file my taxes right away so I can get it over with, or if I should let my money sit in my high interest savings account for another 2 months and collect interest. Knowing me, I’ll do it right away just so it’s done and I can move on.

Anyone else still waiting for their tax forms?
