It says "attach the first copy or Copy B of Forms W-2 to the front of your Form 1040Ez". Does that just mean attach my original W2 I received from my employer?
Best answer by cameaf
Yes, there are usually four (duplicate) copies of the W2 that your employer issues you. One copy is for Federal (Copy A), two are for state and local (Copy B & C), and the last one is yours to keep for your records (Copy D). Tear one of the forms off and attach to your return if you are mailing it in for processing.

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

 

Start a 2023 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

 

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

What copy do you have?  Why do you copy B?  If you need another one you can just make a copy of the one you have.  It doesn't need to be the "B" copy.
