Which W2's to include for MA and RI State Tax Return

Due to an EIN issue, I have to mail my joint federal, MA, and RI tax returns and cannot e-file.

 

My wife works job 1 in RI and lives in MA.

My wife works job 2 in MA and lives in MA.

I work job 3 in MA and live and MA.

 

When it comes to the RI tax return, do I include/attach all three w2's? Or do I only attach the W2 from job 1 being worked in RI?

 

Same question applies for the MA return. Do I include all three W2's? Or do I only attach the W2's from job 2 and job 3?

You should attach a copy of all 3 W-2s to each state return.

Thanks for the quick response David. For the 1099-HC, 1099-DIV, and 1099-INT should I do the same? Some are for MA and some are for RI.

Only forms that show tax paid are of interest. DOR Personal Income tax forms and instructions | Mass.gov states:  

"attach to your [ paper-filed ] Massachusetts Form 1, with a single staple, all state copies of your Forms W-2, W-2G, PWH-WA, 2G and any Forms 1099 which included Massachusetts withholding.  If making a payment, be sure to enclose Form PV with your Form 1."
