View and Print W-2 Form

The Payroll Office processes and distributes W-2 forms for all employees of the university each January.

A W-2 tax form shows important information about the income you’ve earned, the amount of taxes withheld from your paycheck, the benefits provided, and other information for the tax year. This form is used to file your federal and state taxes. Forms are released at the end of January in MyDay/Workday. A paper copy is also mailed to each employee's home address.

Follow the below steps to view and print your W-2 form in MyDay. For more details regarding the information reported on your W-2 form, please review Understanding Form W-2.
