I am ready to submit my e filing but was never asked to attach a copy of my W2.  How do I do that?

You do not attach your W-2, you just enter all of the information from it. If you e-file your return, you do not have to mail anything in to the IRS.  It has all been done electronically.  Just save your W-2’s and other paperwork for your own records.  You should also print a copy of your return for your own records.

When I click the send button to efile a message says I must first attach my W2.

@Carl2024 As xmasbaby0 mentioned above, you do not physically attach your W-2 to your e-file but rather you enter the required information from the form into the Turbo Tax program. There may be a possibility that you need to review the W-2 entry for accuracy and completeness. The following thread  provides those steps: Revisiting W-2 Section in Turbo Tax
