When filing electronically:
You must provide Form W-2 (PDF) to the authorized IRS e-file provider before the provider sends the electronic return to the IRS.
You do not need to send your W-2 forms and should keep them in a safe place with a copy of your tax return.
Use Form 8453 to transmit any paper documents which need to be sent. Do not use this form to send your W-2 forms.
