Manually sending my Washington DC tax return- What do I need to include?

I have to manually send in my Washington DC tax return.  On Turbotax's instructions, it tells me to send "all W-2s and 1099s."  Do I need to send the ones that don't apply to DC?  I'm only asking because one of them is going to be a pain to get another copy of and it has nothing to do with my employment of Washington DC.

Are you a resident of DC?

No I'm not.  I did some work based in DC in 2016 but didn't live there.

It depends -

Yes - If you are a DC resident and need to mail in your DC state income tax return, then you will need to include copies of all W-2s and 1099s regardless of where the income was earned. (Just photocopy the W-2 or 1099 that you will not be able to get an additional copy of and send in the photocopy.)

No - If you are not a resident of DC, then you will not need to file a DC state income tax return. Instead you would just include your DC sourced income as part of your total income being reported in your permanent state of residence.

You are not required to file a DC return if you are a nonresident of DC unless you are claiming a refund of DC taxes withheld or DC estimated taxes paid. Use Form D-40B, Non-Resident Request for Refund (available by visiting  DC - Tax Forms )

Great- thank you!!  I didn't live in DC, but I did some work while assigned to a DC based company.  I'll just include the w2 that pertains to the work I did related to DC.  Many thanks!
