Btw, statements you attach would not get processed or reviewed.  They're there just for the peace of mind in case someone opens the return for a random audit or something at a later time.

If you send in a NY return with $0 wages when there's a state W-2, chances are, your client will get a nastygram.

I'd rather **bleep** it in the bud than to have my client get a notice, which would cost time, money, and stress on your client's part to resolve.
