To reduce the risk of having your personal information go astray, you may elect to opt out of receiving paper copies of your W-2. To receive your 2015 W-2 electronically, you must elect to opt out of receiving a paper W-2 by December 31.

• On the Tax Statements screen, click on “Click here for W-2 information for tax years 2013 and later.”

• Click on “Paperless Options” on the “Myself” tab.

• Check the “Access my W-2s and 1099s online only” box. Follow the remaining instructions to go paperless. 

• You will also need to enter/update your email address under “My Profile” on the “Myself” tab to ensure you receive notification when your W-2 is available. 

• Be sure to close all browser windows when you have finished making your updates.
