W-2 (Wage and Tax Statements) Now Available Online; to be Mailed by January 31, 2015
January 26, 2015
The 2014 W-2 Wage and Tax Statements are now available in My UW System. Your statement is located under the Tax Statements tab in the Payroll Information module. Paper copies of the W-2 will be postmarked by January 31, 2015.
A printed Form W-2 from the portal is a valid document for tax filing. However, if you are filing a paper tax statement, you must write your Social Security number or Individual Tax Payer Identification number in the 'a' field at the top of each Form W-2 section. In order to increase the security of sensitive information online, any U.S. Social Security or Tax Payer identification number has been removed from the online statements.
Some employees will also receive additional tax forms from the University (1042-S, Fellowship/Scholarship Letter, 1099-Misc). These forms will be mailed via U.S. mail as they are available. The 1042-S and Fellowship/Scholarship Letter will be posted on the portal at a later time. The 1099-Misc forms will not be available on the portal.
Employees are reminded that they should use their W-2 Form, not their final 2014 Earnings Statement to file their taxes. Some employees have had adjustments made to their 2014 taxable earnings since the last 2014 payroll was paid. These employees may have an additional earnings statement generated reflecting these adjustments. These adjustments will already be reflected on the W-2 Form that the employee receives.
