Accessing Form W-2

Current Employees

Current and historical Form W-2s will remain available in the GWeb Employee Dashboard. 

We encourage employees to elect to receive your W-2 online only. By opting in for online only, you will be able to see your W-2 earlier, file sooner for your refund, contribute to the University’s sustainability efforts and save the University cost of printing and mailing paper copies.  Please use these Consent for Electronic W-2 Instructions to receive your W-2 online.  

Use the GWeb View/Save/Print W-2 Instructions to obtain a printer-friendly copy of your W-2 for 2023 and years prior.

Beginning in 2023, the university is partnering with Equifax to provide access to download your W-2 and/or import the W-2 information directly in the tax preparation software of your choice.  You can access Equifax via this Equifax direct link or a link in GWeb on the Employee Dashboard.
