Subject: 2016 W2s Are Available
<p>Don’t wait on the mail. It’s not too late to sign up to receive your W2 electronically on-line!! The 2016 W-2 forms are now available on PAWS. To receive a W-2 electronically, employees must consent to the process. By doing so, a paper W-2 will not be provided by mail, but will be available for print via PAWS. Former employees, including retirees, will not be eligible to take advantage of this ability. A paper W-2 will be mailed to the last known address EIU has on file. The consent process is a one-time consent and it will not be necessary to re-consent each year. To consent and access W-2’s on line, please follow the below directions. (Note: 1095C forms will be provided at a later date.)</p><p>• Log-in to <strong>PAWS</strong>: https://bannerssb.eiu.edu/pls/PROD/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin <br /> • Select the <strong>EMPLOYEE</strong> tab<br /> • Select <strong>TAX FORMS</strong><br /> • Select <strong>W-2 WAGE AND TAX STATEMENT</strong><br /> • Select <strong>2016</strong>, then click <strong>DISPLAY</strong><br /> • A pop-up message will appear indicating you will need to provide CONSENT.
