I efiled, but PA is saying they have not recieved my W2 and I need to send it in, how do I ensure that they receive my W2?

Mail it from the post office and get a tracking number.

Are they looking for a W-2 or your complete 1040 tax return? W-2s are filed electronically when you efile your tax return.

It says, "W2 statement(s) and/or 1099 were not received with your tax return to verify the amount of income tax reported and PA withheld. Please submit one or more of the following documents." All I have is the W2 which should have been filled electronically, but somehow wasn't.

Turbotax has a BUG in their PA state returns. If you go into "View Forms" and go to the page for W-2S, you'll see that the box to "Exclude Part A of Schedule W-2S" is checked by default. This happened to me for 2016 and 2017. You need to manually uncheck it before e-filing (or before printing to mail in). And Intuit needs to fix this bug!

Follow the instructions in the letter you received from PA Dept of Revenue and mail a copy of your W2.

Your PA tax return should have included a Schedule W2S that lists the W2 information.  Either this form was missing or they have additional questions. Rather common for PA to ask for the W2 if the PA income (box 18) is significantly different from the medicare wages (box 5) on the W2.  Sometimes happens if you worked or lived in another state than PA as the employer may have applied non-PA laws in determining taxable income.  Or the amount of PA taxes withheld as shown on the W2 does not match PA's records.

Thank you for pointing out this Bug!  You saved me from mailing instead of e-filing!
