Nothing has to be attached. IRS verifies W-2s using the employer
identification number (EIN). That's why it's important to enter all the W-2
information correctly. If you sign the return electronically, no paper
needs to be sent to IRS, which is exactly how IRS prefers things.

How do you handle W2s? Don't they have to be attached?

You could e-file it for her through the IRS FreeFile program if you want. I
recommend TurboTax.

A neighbor of mine, an elderly woman living solely on a
small SS check and occasional bags of groceries provided by
her church, has not filed an income tax return for years -
perhaps decades. She asked me to get her the form to fill
out to get the rebate she has read about or heard about.
So, my question: What is the simplest IRS form for her to
use to get on the list of those to receive a rebate?
(Rebate here meaning the widely reported $300-1,200 rebate
to be distributed this late spring or summer.)
