Starting October 31, employees will be able to opt-in to receive their W2 form electronically rather than waiting for the university to mail a paper version. According to IRS rules, you must actively consent to receive the electronic version.
Among the benefits of this option, the electronic form is available earlier than the printed version, and cannot get "lost in the mail." As more employees opt-in for electronic or self-printed W2 forms, print and mailing expenses will be reduced.
Still want the paper form mailed to you? Then simply "do nothing" and a W2 form will be mailed in January as usual. Paper copies are the default, you have to consent and "opt in" for the electronic version. However, if you don't opt in, then you will not be able to view the electronic version in UAOnline.
Additional guidance and FAQs will be provided prior to October 31 and posted to the UAOnline Upgrade website.
