Article summary

Paperless W2s

Instead of a paper copy, employees may choose to receive their tax statements electronically. By opting in to paperless tax statements, employees will have quicker access to print their tax forms directly from any device with an internet connection as soon as they are published. 

By selecting ‘Opt In to Paperless Tax Statements’ in the ‘My Pay’ section of the R365 Mobile App, the employee consents to receive their W2 or other tax statements by electronic means only; a paper copy will not be need to be provided to them.

Employees who do not opt in to paperless tax statements will need paper W2s mailed to them.

W2 EOY Process

At the end of the year, R365 will set a timeline for reviewing and approving employee W2s. The Year End Checklist page contains the recommended tasks and deadlines to complete the final pay run of the year and make any necessary adjustments prior to W2 filing. 

In the first week of January, W2 details will need to be checked for accurate data placement on the form and employee totals for earnings and taxes. Any corrections must be submitted to R365 Support. Corrections requested after the end of the review period require W2-C requests. Refer to the Year End Checklist page for the current year's review deadline. 

Once W2s have been generated in the second week of January, they will be available for download by employees on the R365 Mobile App, and will also be available to payroll users on the Workforce Documents page and individual Employee Records. 

On the Workforce Documents page, two zipped folders of W2 PDFs will be provided:
