Faculty and staff can access their 2015 W-2 forms in PASS, Jan. 21, 2016. At that time, employees who have selected the electronic option will have immediate access to print their W-2 forms. Electronic W-2 forms contain all required information and comply with all applicable IRS revenue procedures. However, IRS regulations require that each employee give his/her consent to receive an electronic W-2 form in place of the paper version.

We strongly encourage all employees to elect to receive electronic W-2 forms. Employees who receive their W-2 forms electronically support campus-wide sustainability and cost-saving initiatives as well as help minimize the potential for identity theft by providing more secure form access. Additional benefits of electronic W-2 forms are:

• Earlier access to W-2 form, since paper copies will not be mailed out until the end of January.
• Eliminates lost, stolen, delayed or misplaced forms as a result of the U.S. Postal Service.
• Access from any internet connection at any time via PASS.
• Employees have the option to print multiple copies at their convenience.
• Once consent is given, it remains in force. (Starting this year, no annual renewal is required.)
