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 W-2 or other tax statements by electronic means only; a paper copy will not need to be provided to them. Employees who do not opt in to paperless tax statements will need paper W-2s mailed to them. ![A screenshot of a cell phone Description automatically generated](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/employee-w-2s-image-6mpokwbf.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T00%3A56%3A39Z&se=2026-11-13T01%3A56%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=m061D7k%2B2Zg5rPcXX9rH41WWhiHvWVMBaG8050nbuR4%3D) The 'Paperless Tax Statements' selection for an employee can be viewed in the 'Pay History' section of the [Payroll tab](/doc/docs/workforce-employee-records-payroll-tab) of their employee record. --- ## **W-2s in the Employee Self-Service Portal** Employees can access their W-2s from the [My Pay](/doc/docs/r365-app-my-pay-employee-self-service) section of the R365 Mobile App. W-2s are found under the 'Tax forms' section of the Documents screen. ![A screenshot of a phone Description automatically generated](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/employee-w-2s-image-xw9bxtvv.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T00%3A56%3A39Z&se=2026-11-13T01%3A56%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=m061D7k%2B2Zg5rPcXX9rH41WWhiHvWVMBaG8050nbuR4%3D) The employee can view or edit their 'Paperless Tax Statements' selection in the 'Profile' section of the [R365 Mobile App](/doc/docs/r365-mobile-app). ![A screen shot of a phone Description automatically generated](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/employee-w-2s-image-kau5j8ax.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T00%3A56%3A39Z&se=2026-11-13T01%3A56%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=m061D7k%2B2Zg5rPcXX9rH41WWhiHvWVMBaG8050nbuR4%3D) --- ## **W-2s on the Employee Record** An employee's W-2s can be downloaded from their [employee record](/doc/docs/employee-record) on the [Payroll tab](/doc/docs/workforce-employee-records-payroll-tab).
