Wait, it says to send in original copies of W-2, in that case, how do people mail-file their taxes because I only get 1 copy of W-2?
This is so messy, I almost don't even want to do it. But the difference in my tax return will be so massive, I MUST go through it! I appreciate everyone who has been helping me! 😥
In the very old days, a W-2 was a 4 part carbonless form. The top copy (A) goes from the employer to the IRS. The other 3 copies (B, 1, 2) go to the employee, and are used for the federal tax return, state tax return, and one copy for the employee.
These days, most W-2s are electronic documents, and every copy is identical, so if you have a W-2 in electronic or PDF form, just print a clean copy and attach it to each return you need to file.
