    I'm not sure exactly. A W-2 is what you get from your employer showing your wages and tax collected for the year. If you filled out a 1099 when you were hired, then you should receive your W-2 within the next couple of weeks. Once you do, you can go right online and file your tax returns.

    I imagine that if your are not eligible, the website will let you know.

    Free File Home - Your Link to Free Federal Online Filing

    The W-2 will be mailed to your address listed on the 1099 unless your employer was told otherwise. If you do file I don't think you're allowed to until January 15th.

    Good Luck
