It is almost that time of year again when employees will begin to prepare for the tax season. You are encouraged to sign up to receive the annual IRS Form W-2 electronically.

In addition to saving paper and time, there are several other benefits to employees who elect to receive the W-2 online:

• Earlier access to the Form W-2.
• No possibility the Form W-2 might be lost, stolen, delayed or misplaced.
• You can retrieve the Form W-2 statements at any time of the day and on weekends on a secure website.
• You can print multiple copies at your convenience.
• Once you consent to receive the Form W-2 electronically, no action is needed in future years.

Learn how to sign up to receive the W-2 electronically by accessing https://bsc.untsystem.edu/payroll-resources.

For employees at University of North Texas, UNT Health Science Center, UNT Dallas and UNT System Administration, W-2 Forms will be available on MyUNT/MyHSC during the last week of January. An email will be sent to notify employees who have elected electronic distribution that the form is available. For employees who still wish to receive paper W-2 forms, the documents will be mailed to home addresses and postmarked by January 31, 2013.
