Printed Copies of Your W-2
The default setting for W-2s in Workday is both electronic and paper delivery. For your future tax returns, we encourage you to choose electronic-only delivery for faster access and to support GVSU's sustainability efforts:
- Avoid delays: Receive your W-2 sooner with electronic delivery. Electronic availability for those still opting to receive paper copies may be delayed until the statutory deadline of January 31.
- Sustainability: Help reduce paper use and support GVSU’s sustainability initiatives. Fewer paper copies help GVSU conserve resources, too.
- Convenience: Your W-2 will be available anytime, reducing the risk of losing it.
Changing Your W-2 Delivery
To view and change your W-2 delivery, you can search "My Tax Documents" in Workday. Under "Current Year End Tax Document Printing Election" you can see what format you are currently receiving your W-2 in. To make any changes, select "Edit" under "Printing Elections."
