A W-2 is entered on a form 1040 and that is the form that is filed with the IRS. There are several types of 1040s. Your return would have been filed on one of them.

The W-2 is the tax document that your wages are reported on. The 1040 (or form 1040) is the tax return in which reports all of your tax documents on (i.e. W-2, investment income, mortgage interest,etc).
