Posted by Gopi on October 13, 2009, 10:19 am Please log in for more thread options Hi; I had opted for automatic tax filing extension for CA taxes for 2008 and now I need to send it by Oct 15. When I printed tax forms using Turbotax, it states that "Do not attach any Form(s) W-2". What does it mean ? I thought W-2 is a must to send tax forms. Please advise.

However if paper filing, California has a Schedule W-2 which allows you to summarize all the W-2's on a single page.  Turbotax is probably filling this out for you, look for it in your printout. California wants either the actual W-2's or Sch. W-2, not both. -Mark Bole -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used,   >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties  >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer.                  >> <<                                                         >> <<   The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts   >> <<  to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy  >> <<                  are at www.asktax.org.                 >> <<         Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved.         >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> Posted by Gopi on October 13, 2009, 11:56 am Please log in for more thread options > Gopi wrote: > > I had opted for automatic tax filing extension for CA taxes for 2008 > > and now I need to send it by Oct 15. > > When I printed tax forms using Turbotax, it states that "Do not attach > > any Form(s) W-2".

This group really rocks :) Cheers, -Gopi ========================================= MODERATOR'S COMMENT: The federal Form W-2G is used to report gambling winnings. Unless tax was witheld, it is not necessary to attach to the tax return.  If this is a separate CA form, please ignore this comment. -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used,   >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties  >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer.                  >> <<                                                         >> <<   The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts   >> <<  to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy  >> <<                  are at www.asktax.org.                 >> <<         Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved.         >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> This Thread        Yahoo!   Google   Windows Live   del.icio.us   digg   Netscape CA state tax - W2 not required ?
