My Employer sent out my W2 to a wrong address and is giving me the runaround about a new one.What shouldI DO?
She didn't say no, so I'd give it a week and call once more but if you strike out again...you can call the IRS for help. Go find your last pay stub. You'll need the info on wages, Social Security and Medicare taxes paid, federal and, if applicable, state and local taxes withheld, any pension or 401(k) contributions -- to recreate your missing W-2. The stub also should show the employer information: company name, address and possibly the employer identification number, or EIN. If the EIN isn't on a pay stub and you received a W-2 from the errant employer in prior years, the tax number will be on the old statements. You don't have to have the EIN, but it will help when the IRS processes your return. Once you have this info, call the IRS at 800-829-1040 for help in obtaining the missing form. The IRS will use the employment data you gathered -- along with your personal info, such as your SS# and dates of employment -- to remind your boss that you need a substitute W-2. The IRS will send your boss a special form noting that you did not receive your W-2. You'll get a copy of that notice along with a Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. If, even after nudging from the IRS, your employer doesn't send you a replacement W-2 in time for you to file your return, you may file using Form 4852 in place of your missing wage statement. If you can't get through to the IRS, you can download Form 4852 on the Internet and fill out the replacement wage statement yourself. Good luck!
I gave my address to someone online..?
Before you say anything, yeah, I know. I'm stupid for giving it out. So don't be all like: "You're retarded why did you do that you should know better." I know, I KNOW. I'm never doing it again, I swear to God. I don't want to risk my life. Even though I already might had. I've known this guy for more than half a year now. We were good friends, until I became best friends with his ex girlfriend. Then we stopped talking. I asked him if we were cool and all, he said we were and that if I really wanted to be friends, then we could really be friends. But now he never talks to me. One day before we stopped talking, he said he had this stuffed animal he wanted to send to me through the post office over where he's at, which is Tennessee. I don't live in his state. I'm more than 10 hours away from him. He asked for my address, zip code, state, etc... and I gave it to him. Now that we don't talk, I'm afraid he may travel to me one day or something. The thought of it scares me. His ex told me that I shouldn't worry, since he's not in my state and wouldn't take so much time to come to me and track me down completely. But... should I? I gave it to him over Skype and since it's been over 24 hours, I can't delete the message so that him or I can't see it anymore. If you could actually help me out with that too, I would be safe and not feel so... scared, anymore. Thank you, and 10 points for best and supporting answer!
How can you send someone a package without them knowing your address?
Neither one of you can send or receive gifts without the knowledge of the persons address. If I were you, I would tell my mom and let her be the judge of how to proceed in your friendship with this online friend. Your mom may surprise you in her support and her ability to analyze whether this situation is safe for you and how you can proceed from here. If you are keeping this a secret, it is because part of it doesn't seem right to you too. Be Safe. I will add that people buy PO boxes at the post office in order to not disclose their address. You have to pay an annual fee that varies from city to city. You sign up at the post office and they give you a key. You should do that with your mom.
Can someone find my address from my cell phone number?
I have a quasi-stalker like person who has my cell phone number and I am afraid they will use some sort of "reverse" call or one of those websites on the internet to find my address. How can I protect my privacy and what steps can I take to protect this type of private information? Thank you, Wes
Do I need to give my new address to my old landlord?
I'm moving into my new apartment tomorrow but my lease doesn't run out until the 31st. The landlord sends me a text saying, "Pls give me your new address and let me know when you are turning in your keys so I know when I can get in and c what I might want to do and show it. Thanks." I was just planning on leaving the keys in the apartment when I left between the 26th-28th She can technically come in whenever she wants but I really don't feel like I need to give her my new address.
What is the difference between a billing and shipping address?
This scenario has come up more and more, as purchasing on the Internet has greatly eroded number of purchases made in person at a store.Fairly simply, you may live on 123 Main St., but you want the package sent to 123 Brown St. if this was the situation in a regular store, unless you were having them ship it, you would simply give them your credit card, pay for it, and do what you wanted with it.But, many purchases on the Internet are to be sent to someone else. So in that case, they need to distinguish between the shipping and billing address. So the shipping address is obviously where you want it shipped, and the billing address is where you live. Where your bills are delivered. If they are both one in the same, there is usually is a box to click, which says the same as billing address, when referring to the shipping address, or vice versa.It's also another way to ensure security. If you found a valid credit card and went to a store and bought something that was not for a very large amount, most stores would let the process go through, without you showing any ID.However in the case you were trying to buy something on Amazon, you not only would have to fill in the entire address of the billing address, since all you know is the person’s name from the credit card, but since you don't want to send to them, you also have to give them a shipping address that you want it sent to, most likely you. So where are you going to get the billing address for this credit card?Also, for many many years, when purchasing something over the phone or online in its infancy, giving the expiration date was basically all you needed as far as security. But as you know, for at least the last 15 years, you have also had to give that three digit code “printed” on the back of the card. I assume that is to ensure that the card is actually in your possession.
What's the harm of giving a stranger your email address?
What’s the harm of giving a stranger your email address?There are at least four obvious risks.Malware Downloads. Most obviously, if you send them your email address they are almost certainly going to send you an email. Then you will have to come back here and ask if it is safe to open an email from a stranger who requested your address without explanation. And it is extremely risky to open that email. Most likely it carries a malware payload that could take control of your computer. Perhaps it will encrypt your hard drive then they ask you for a payment in bitcoin for the key. Or perhaps they just install adware. In any case it is too risky to open the email so why give them an address?Phishing Attack. Also very likely is the possibility that this is someone just trying to get your email address so that they can try a phishing attack, tricking you into providing useful data using some pretext. Maybe they will try to convince you that you have inherited $1B from your uncle, a Nigerian Prince, and you just have to send them the details of your bank accounts.Catfishing Scams. Less likely but still common is the possibility is that this is the beginning of a catfishing scam, where some old guy will pretend to be a young model who likes your profile and wants to marry you. They will then ask you for money to come to stay with you, you send it and then you never hear from them again — unless they need more money.Identifying real names. If your messaging account is not in your real name then sending an email address could help them to identify you. Perhaps you are using a pseudonym for some reason and with more datapoints like an email address someone might be able to find other accounts, find real-name friends among these and thus work out your real identity.If someone has a genuine need to send you an email they can also explain why they want to do this in their original message. For example, if a journalist from the New York Times would like to interview you about a social media post they will say that. A distant relative doing ancestry research who would like to get in touch will explain why they want to contact you.And if anyone has a genuine reason to contact you they will also do this from a real name account that wasn’t created just five minutes before they contact you. The chances that anything good will come from an anonymous contact like this are essentially zero.
