This is my first time doing my taxes myself just wondering if I should send the irs the original w2 copies I have before I'll get my refund?

Not unless the program tells you to. The goal of e-filing is to eliminate as much paperwork as possible.

There are a handful of situations where you might have to mail something after e-filing. If yours is one of them, we'll let you know. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

We do recommend that you print your return for your records after your e-filed return has been accepted.
