My employer sends us electronic W2s and I do not receive a hard copy. I e-filed my federal return and want to mail in my Colorado state return. Can I attach a printed out copy of my W2 to the state taxes? This is my first year with this employer and in this state.

There should be no problem with sending a printed copy of your W2 with your state. Many companies don't even mail paper W-2s anymore, and employees just download and print them out. If you are worried you can contact your state & ask them.
How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?

You can also request a copy of your W2 or wage statement from the employer themselves or the SSA, social security administration. https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501
@dekandryce It costs $86 to get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security. It is better to get a copy from the employer.
I need the copies of my 2019 W2’s that I used when I filed with you via electronically with turbo tax need ASAP for school
@Jacq0415 I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2 (or 1099)
TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s). You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $90).

If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual W-2.
You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS: It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received. It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

Or you can pay the IRS $50 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s
