I received a letter in the mail today from the state of Pennsylvania. They have indicated that I did not attach my W2s to my filing. I used TurboTax.

This has never been an issue before.  What is up?

Did you mail a paper copy or e-file?

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

did not have PA income tax withheld by your employer.

8. You have a distribution from a nonqualified deferred compensation

plan included in Box 1 of your Form W-2.

9. Your Form W-2 shows income earned or tax withheld for

another state.
