Using Turbo Tax Desktop and E filing a New York State Return- Can I add an Attachment to that

I am going to E File a New York State Return using the Desktop Premier Version and need to attach a copy of a W-2 to that E File transmission.

Can I do this? I see under the Tools Tab there is an Attachment Choice but it does not do anything.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

There is no need to attach a W-2 on an e-filed tax return. The information from the W-2 that you entered using the TurboTax program is included in the e-filed return.

If they need to see your W2 or a 1099 or something they will send you a letter for it. So keep all your forms and records. Why do you think you need to attach it?

Yes I know that but after last year's e filing, New York State had sent me a letter to supply a copy of the W-2 to them. I think it is because the W-2 is generated by a Connecticut Employer who withholds New York State Taxes. Not sure, but I wanted to try to stay one step ahead.

Do you think an attachment can be transmitted?

They sent a letter for the 2020 W2 after it was efiled

Each year will be separate. Just wait to see if they send you a letter again. Sorry.
