Register for Online W-2 by January 13
Faculty, staff, and student employees who have not previously enrolled to receive their 2008 W-2 Wage and Tax Statement information online can still do so. The deadline for registering at epayroll.theworknumber.com/osu is January 13, 2009. Anyone who previously registered to receive W-2 information online will not need to do so again.
Once an employee is registered, a notification will be sent via e-mail when the W-2 becomes available, along with instructions for its retrieval. Any online registration made after January 13, 2009, will serve as consent for the 2009 tax year.
Here are some helpful items regarding online W-2 statements:
- Employees who are registered to receive their 2008 W-2 information online will have the information posted on a secure web site in late January, well before other Ohio State employees would normally receive it in the mail.
- The online W-2 information will be available in the ePayroll portal at epayroll.theworknumber.com/osu, the same location as your online payroll advice.
- The online W-2 data can be imported into tax preparation software or printed for the direct filing of your returns.
