susan500 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I prepared a paper return and forgot to attach the W2. The taxpayer already mailed the return. Is there a penalty involved? Will they still process the return? I did not see that there is a penalty according to the instructions. I didn’t know if anyone had any experience with this. Thanks, Susan C.

Booger Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Sue, TP will probably get a letter from the IRS requesting that the W-2 be sent in. NO BIG DEAL, don't lose any sleep over it (happens to everybody). Booger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 No penalty, however, it will delay processing the return until they get the W2s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmars Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 but don't send it in now, wait for a notice or it will be lost forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
