I just e-filed using Turbotax for the first time (I usually file a paper copy). How do I send the IRS my Forms W-2 and 1099-R?

    you don't. that is part of the purpose of e-filing. no paper forms to submit like W-2's 1099's and any other form that shows withholding

    thanks! I wish would add a note saying that at the end of the script (after you've hit the 'go' button), since many people that are e-filing for the first time are used to sending those in with their return. I wonder why anyone ever has to send thos in at all if the IRS can 'discover' those nums from your entries on the 1040??? Thanks again for the answer.
