The printed instructions from the Turbotax program entitled "File by Mail Instructions for your 2017 California Tax Return" stated what is to be mailed. The list includes the CA tax return, a copy of the Federal return, any Form(s) W-2G, 592-B, 593, and 1099s that have California withholding. But then it specifically says "Do not attach any Form(s) W-2."
The CA FTB says W-2s are to be included on all returns.
Somebody is wrong.
To be a little more specific, this was a non-resident military return that the Defense Depart withheld CA taxes because CA was the home-of-record (or domicile as CA likes to call it). I don't know why that would make any difference as to why TT would say to NOT includes W-2s. My conversations with the FTB are short and to the point: always include W-2s, no exceptions.
