Do I send both copy 2's that I received of my w2 with state return or only send in one of the copy 2's that both state to be filed with employees state income tax return?

If you are mailing in a state tax return, then you only need to include in the mail one Copy 2 for each W-2 that you received. Sometimes, the W-2 forms printed and sent to employees may have one form serve two purposes.  For example, many W-2 form printing companies utilize one form to be used for both Copy 2 (to be sent in with state return) and the same form for Copy C (to be kept for employees records), but typically both purposes will be listed on the bottom of the form.    

If your state return is being e-filed, you more than likely will not be required to mail in the Copy 2 of your W-2 to the state. You will want to review the instructions received along with your e-filed tax return summary.
