    Yes, you do.  It's pretty much a universal requirement to attach Form(s) W-2 to your returns when filing, whether by mail or electronically.

     

    See Attachments to your tax return in California's 2023 Instructions for Form 540, Personal Income Tax Booklet.  (The 2024 version isn't available yet.)

    What if you have multiple state returns to file and you run out of W2 copies?

    Do you have a scanner on your printer?   Or access to a copier?
