SDI tax forms for December earnings missing - what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I haven't gotten my tax forms for my state disability earnings from last December. Anyone else dealing with this? What should I do? I'm worried about filing my taxes without all the proper documentation.

Ugh, I feel ya. The state's always slow with this stuff. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes they can verify if they sent it out or not.

•Pro tip: call right when they open. You might have to wait on hold for a while, but at least you'll get through eventually.

I had the same issue last year. Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check your mailing address on file with the state disability office. 2. If that's correct, request a duplicate form. You can usually do this online. 3. If all else fails, you can estimate your earnings based on your last payment stub and file your taxes with that. Just be sure to amend later if the numbers are off. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any more info.

•Great advice! I'd add that keeping a record of all your attempts to contact them is important too. Cover your bases, ya know?

Guys, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

This happened to me too! I ended up having to go down to the local office in person. It was a pain, but I got it sorted out in one day. Might be worth a shot if you're really stuck.

Hey OP, just a heads up - even if you don't have the form, you still need to report the income. You can use your bank statements to estimate the amount received. Better to overestimate slightly than underreport. You can always file an amended return later if needed.
