Please consider electing to receive the 2015 and future year W-2s online (printable) and NOT receive a paper W-2 through U.S. Mail. The primary benefits of making this election are the following:
- Your W-2 is securely available to you online instead of having your paper W-2 moving through multiple handling processes for printing, mail preparation, and mail delivery.
- Your W-2 will be available for viewing, with the option to print, about a week sooner than receiving a mailed W-2. This may be beneficial to you if you intend to prepare your tax return early. The online W-2 is formatted exactly the same as the copy you would otherwise receive in the mail.
- You may access your W-2 through Employee Self Service at any time after they are made available, including prior years. Only employees who have made the election to receive the online W-2, thereby not to receive the paper W-2, will be able to view the W-2 through e-business Employee Self Service.
- Eliminating as many paper W-2s as possible results in significant savings to the university by avoiding postage, paper and processing costs of printing, transporting and mailing.
To make this election, go to UNI Employee Self Service > W-2 Delivery Preference, log in, and select Yes for Online. The election must be made no later than January 6th to be effective for the 2015 W-2s. If you become an ex-employee your W-2 will be automatically mailed and not available online. See W2 Delivery Preference Instructions for more detailed instructions.
