TCU offers the option to faculty, staff and students the choice of receiving their annual W-2 statement electronically, instead of through the mail. The procedure is secure and your W-2 will be available a minimum of 3-7 days earlier than those mailed. The electronic delivery of W-2 statements is IRS approved but only with the employee's consent. This means employees may continue to receive their Form W-2 via U.S. Mail, or may opt to download their W-2 from a secure site.
W-2s will be mailed by January 31st for those who do not register for electronic W-2s by January 10th.
Replacement W-2s for 2005 to present are available at www.getmyw2.com/tcu. To request a W-2 prior to 2005 contact Social Security Administration or IRS.
Benefits to receiving the W-2 statement electronically:
- Electronic delivery eliminates the possibility that your W-2 will be lost, misdirected or delayed during delivery.
- Electronic delivery eliminates the possibility of identity theft with a lost, misdirected or stolen W-2.
- The electronic format allows you to import your W-2 information into tax software.
- You can receive your W-2 anywhere you have computer access, even while traveling or moving.
REGISTER in three easy steps:
- Go to www.getmyw2.com/tcu and create your unique user ID and password.
- You MUST go back to the site, log in using the user ID and password you just created.
- Click “Sign Up to Receive your Tax Statements Electronically” and follow the prompts! (If you do not follow this final step, you will not have completed the Electronic Registration process!)
For those who successfully received an electronic W-2 for 2006, you do not have to register again. You will be e-mailed when your 2007 W-2 is available.
