Beginning with Tax Year 2009, WUSTL employees can sign up to receive electronic delivery of W-2 forms, announced Tina Grarup, director of Payroll Services.
There are two significant advantages to electronic delivery of W-2 documents, Grarup said.
First, electronic W-2s will arrive approximately three weeks earlier than mailed W-2s, giving WUSTL employees a head start on their taxes. Second, there is no risk of employees’ forms being lost in the mail.
“We are very excited to offer electronic W-2s; it is a win-win for both our employees and the University,” Grarup said. “We are making it possible for employees to access their information much earlier than in past years, and by consenting, they are contributing to a cost-savings to the University.”
To sign up, employees must log into HRMS using their WUSTL KEY. Click on “Employee Self Service” and then “Payroll and Compensation.” From there, click on “W-2/W-2c Consent.”
Employees who sign up will be notified by e-mail in early January when electronic W-2 forms are available.
Those who sign up for electronic W-2s will receive the document electronically from Tax Year 2009 on, unless the employee changes his or her status in HRMS.
