OH man. I am so happy that last year is the last tax year that I have to deal with the company I used to work for. I know you're not supposed to assume, and I certainly should have known better than to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I assumed that my W2 for 2009 would be sent to my current address because that's the address they sent my separation papers to when I was laid off last March. So that would be the most recent correspondence they have with me. I also know for a fact that when I moved in 2008 that I made sure they had my current mailing address because they had sent another of my W2s to the wrong address the year before. They have also mailed them late in past years, so I was trying to hold out another week or so before I called up my old HR lady. But I talked to a couple of other guys I used to work with (one who's still there and one who was laid off at the same time as me), and both of them already had theirs.
So I call the HR lady up, and she's all nice and chatty, and I'm thinking, I don't want to be your friend--the last time I talked to you was when you called me out of the blue and let me go. And she already knew I was calling because I didn't have my W2 because I'd left her a voice mail earlier today.
So anyway, she reads me off the address they mailed the W2 to, and it's my address from over 3 years ago!
I've had 2 other addresses since then. They must have pulled an old file out of an old dusty box somewhere and just taken the first address they saw. So I give her my new address, and she says she'll mail it to me, and that she can scan it and email me a copy. So I said that would be good, and she starts wrapping up the conversation, and I'm like--uhhh, do you want my email address to send that scan to???
Maybe she was just gonna send it to my old company email?
Anyway, I am so glad I don't have to deal with her ever again! (Assuming (there I go again!) that she actually does remember to mail my W2).
