Printing w-2

So it won't let me e-file my return which is fine I guess but I need a copy of my w-2 to send with it I never received my physical copy of my w-2 since I was filling online I didn't think it was a big deal but now I have to have my return sent off by Tuesday can I just print off my w-2 on any printer or does it have to be an official copy it just says "attach the first copy or copy B of form W-2 to the front of your form 1040."

You can include a photocopy of your W-2 if you are mailing the return.

 

But..."it won't let me e-file my return....."  Why not?  Is it being rejected?

 

 

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.  

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead. What is the rejection code or rejection message? 

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2021 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2021 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

 

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

It says "The tax withheld of $1,863 as shown on Form
1040 is greater than or equal to $1,863, the sum
of income from the following sources" and then lists a bunch of forms and stuff

So when I mail in my tax return I don't have to have an official copy I can just print one is that correct?
