Important 2019 W-2 Information and Tax Updates
The primary focus for this year’s W-2 season is to offer you early access to your 2019 W-2 by simply registering for electronic delivery. Please review the following fast approaching deadlines and act immediately. For your convenience, direct links have been provided throughout this communication.
Prior to W-2 issuance:
- Don’t wait for documents to be printed, mailed, and delivered via first class mail. Register to receive your 2019 W-2 electronically by December 27, 2019 at Paperless Employee.
o Electronic delivery affords you early access to your 2019 W-2, which is tentatively scheduled for January 25, 2020.
o Reprints of your 2019 W-2 are free through October 15, 2020 when your 2019 W-2 is delivered electronically.
- A user guide provided in the welcome message at Paperless Employee will give you instructions on how to create an account using your employee identification number and two other values required to verify your identity, reset your password for already established accounts, change your delivery method, and more. Contact your local branch for complex inquiries that are not addressed by the user guide.
- Associates that have not registered for electronic delivery by December 27, 2019, will have their 2019 W-2 mailed via first class mail to the address of record no later than January 31, 2020.
