I'm not sure why you are cutting W-2s with e-filing.  A photocopy of the W-2 works nicely for the file.  But if I was going to complain about W-2s and 1099s, which I'm not, ok - maybe just a little.  Why can't they require the forms to be uniform?  Sometimes finding ID numbers on the forms can be an adventure.  It's like playing a game of Where's Waldo.
