 What does this mean for employees and individuals who want to file their taxes before this extended date?

According to the IRS, these forms are not required in order for an employee or covered individual to complete their tax forms at their normal time.  Instead, the taxpayer can obtain the information from other sources including the employer, insurance carrier, government entity or marketplace and then simply keep the form(s) with their returns when they receive them.

It is anticipated that the taxpayer will not have to file an amended return as long as the information is consistent with what they originally filed.

However, the IRS does encourage those who are preparing the forms to deliver and/or file them as soon as possible.
