Although California doesn't require Form W-2, the SSA mandates filing it to report wages and withheld taxes for your employees.

California uses Form DE 9C and other EDD filings to match wage and withholding information, so you are not required to submit W-2s again.

Even though the State of California does not require W2 Form, the SSA still requires you to file Form W2
