View & Print Your Electronic W-2

This year, W-2's will be available in Workday for the first time. Please note that while the electronic and paper copy formats look slightly different, the relevant tax data is the same.

Printed Copies of Your W-2

Effective for your 2024 tax return, all GVSU faculty and staff will receive a paper copy W-2 in the mail that will be postmarked by January 31, 2025.

The default setting for W-2s in Workday is both electronic and paper delivery. For your 2025 tax return, 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, 2026, for the 2025 calendar year W-2s.
• 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.
