You don’t need to send your Forms W-2 to the IRS and should keep them in a safe place with a copy of your tax return.
Do employers provide the IRS with a copy of their employees W-2 forms?
A 2015 law made it a permanent requirement that employers file copies of their Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statements, and Form W-3, Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements, with the Social Security Administration by January 31. That is also the date the Forms W-2 are due to workers.
What copy of W-2 goes to IRS?
Copy 1 is for the city, state, or locality. Copy B is for filing with the employee’s federal tax return. Copy C is for the employee’s records. Copy 2 is another copy for a city, state, or locality.
Where can I get a copy of my Form W-2?
Yes, but an actual copy of your Form W-2 is only available if you submitted it with a paper tax return: Transcript: You can get a wage and income transcript, containing the Federal tax information your employer reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA), by using Get Transcript Online.
How to file two W2s at the same time?
Treat them as one W-2. Although the amounts have been broken down between several Forms w-2, they are but one. You will enter the Federal amounts as reported on the Federal filing copy, and when you get to boxes 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, you will put that information into TurboTax from the different sections of the W-2 that reports that income.
Do you need a transcript for Form W-2?

Do you send copy 2 and copy C?
For example, many W-2 form printing companies utilize one form to be used for both Copy 2 (to be sent in with state return) and the same form for Copy C (to be kept for employees records), but typically both purposes will be listed on the bottom of the form.
