The electronic 2021 W-2 forms are now available. If you did not consent to receive your W-2 electronically, your W-2 form will be mailed to your residential address by Jan. 31.

Access to your 2021 W-2 form is now available on and off campus for active employees. 

Current employees are now able to print an official copy of the W-2 form through the Pioneer Portal on or off campus. The IRS has allowed the truncation of Social Security numbers on the W-2 forms, so you will only see the last four digits of your Social Security number on the W-2 form in Pioneer Portal.

Frequently Asked W-2 Questions:

Why doesn’t my W-2 form agree to the gross income on my payslip?  Why doesn’t my W-2 form agree to my annual salary?

Box 1 (Wages, tips, other compensation) on the W-2 form is your taxable income. Your taxable income can be obtained by reviewing your final payslip for 2021 (for most employees, this will be your 12/1/2021 payslip) and subtracting the YTD Pre-Tax Deductions from your YTD Gross Income.

What is the difference between Box 1 and Box 3 on my W-2 form?

Box 1 is your taxable income for federal income tax and Box 3 is your Social Security wages. The difference between these amounts is any pre-tax retirement contributions such as ORP, TRS, 403(b) or 457 contributions.

What is Box 12 Code DD?

The reporting in Box 12, using Code DD, is the cost of employer-sponsored health coverage and is for your information only. The amount reported with Code DD is not taxable.

Other Items:

Please allow the postal service sufficient time to deliver your W-2 form and reroute to a new address if you have moved.  If you have not received your W-2 form by Feb. 15, you may submit a request for a duplicate copy.
