These are the reasons PA requires you to submit your forms W2: Since you have a letter, make a copy of the letter and attach the requested W2's.
When to Submit Form(s)
W-2
Submit an actual state
copy or a legible photocopy of each state
copy of Form W-2 (keep
the original for your records) and a written
explanation if:
1. The PA compensation
you enter on Line 1a of your PA-40 is
not the same as Box 16 on
your Form W-2 (you believe that
the PA compensation or
withholding is incorrect).
2. Your employer gave you
a handwritten Form W-2.
3. Your employer reported
an incorrect amount on your Form W-2.
You must also submit a
written statement from your employer.
4. Your employer withheld
PA income tax from your wages at a
rate that is more than
the 2015 tax rate of 3.07 percent.
5. You are a resident of
a reciprocal compensation agreement
state and your employer
withheld PA income tax.
6. The Medicare wages in
Box 5 on your Form W-2 are greater
than your PA wages in Box
16. In this case, complete and
include with your return
the PA-40 W-2 Reconciliation Worksheet.
To obtain the worksheet,
use one of the Forms Ordering
Services on Page 2.
7. You are a PA resident
working in another state or country and
