My dad has yet to file his 2014 tax return ( I assume you file your tax return of 2014 in the next year to represent full income throughout the year ie. you file your 2014 tax return in 2015). I would just use 2013 tax return but he lost his job, got a new one, and now makes less than half of what he used to.

How should I go about reporting his income? Should I just estimate what it will be?

I could try and obtain his W2 form, but does he not have this until he files his taxes for the year or does he get it when he first got his job? Sorry, I know nothing about taxes…

What should I do?
