I don’t think it’s possible to do taxes in January, most places don’t have documents ready before the end of the month. I had to wait a few extra weeks for the documents from my investment account too, so not everything is always available on Jan 31.
I did mine in February this year. I’ll probably wait and do it later next year, like mid-March, as I ended up missing a document that would have slightly increased my state return (not enough to go through the headache of fixing it).
Last year, I needed an extension, as it was first time doing it myself and my situation was fairly complex.
It depends a lot on the company, my company usually has them by middle of the month. One year they got them out in the first or second week and I had my taxes done before the first half of January was over.
No I mostly have to wait for my banks to send out 1099ints so I end up doing state and federal taxes in early February now.

W2 is usually available by mid January, with the standard deduction being so high that’s all a lot of people need.
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten my W2 before the end of January

That’s great, I’d love to have my docs that early! I think I had to wait til nearly the end of February for some of my 1099s this year.
