If you e-file then NY only gets what *you* entered on your tax return, not the actual W-2 or 1099. Either the state or the IRS (or both) can always ask you to mail a copy the the actual W-2's or 1099's which is why W-2' say on the back that you are required o keep it for at least 3 years. Sometimes they ask just for a random check.
