Copy 2 of W-2

[dnadeem57]

Hi, 

My previous employer from Seattle, Washington did not provide me with copy 2 of W-2, which I need to file state taxes in California and need to attach with the forms to mail. When I reached out to them they said that i will have to reschedule out to California tax department for this and they don’t provide. What should I do in this case? Can I attach any other copy of the W-2 from that company to my tax return?

You can scan or copy the W-2 and include a copy that you make with the return.

You mean any copy of W-2 would work fine? Like if I use the federal copy for state as well?

Yes any copy will do.   You could make a copy yourself so you have one for your records.  Do you have a printer that copies?

Yes i do. Already have extra copies of W-2 I can attach that. Thanks for guiding!
