Electronic 2020 W-2s are now available in OneUSG Connect. To view or download your W-2, follow these steps:
- Log into OneUSG Connect.
- Click the Payroll tile.
- Click the Taxes tile.
- Land on the View W-2/W-2c Forms page.
- For the Tax Year 2020, click Year-End Form.
Please note: You may notice a difference in the format between the mailed version and the electronic version posted in OneUSG Connect. The information presented is the same in both, and either version can be used for tax purposes. The only exceptions are:
- W-2s available in OneUSG Connect do not include the Control Number (Box D). This number may be used for the quick population of the employee’s W-2 data in certain e-filing systems; however, the omission of this field on the electronic version should not affect the ability to file taxes.
- Starting with 2020, the mailed version of the employee W-2 now contains a truncated Social Security Number format. Social Security numbers on employee mailed versions will be masked using the format XXX-XX-1234 (note: all information reported directly to federal and state agencies still contains the full social security number as usual).
If you have questions or concerns, please contact oneusgsupport@usg.edu.
W-2 Electronic Consent in OneUSG Connect 2020
Georgia State University is pleased to announce you may now elect to receive your W‐2 statements online through OneUSG Connect.
Federal regulations require that employees give their consent to receive the W-2 in an electronic format. Employees must consent to electronic delivery by Dec. 31, 2020.
It’s easy! Follow these steps to consent to or confirm your current status:
- Log into OneUSG Connect.
- Click the Payroll tile from Employee Self Service.
- Click the Taxes tile.
- Click W-2/W-2c Consent.
- If you have already consented in OneUSG Connect to receive W-2 or W-2c forms, your status will indicate “Consent received,” and no further action is required.
- If your current status is “No consent received,” proceed to step five.
- Click the box for “Check here to indicate your consent to receive electronic W-2 and W-2c forms.”
- Click Submit.
Once your consent is given in OneUSG Connect, it carries forward each year and does not need to be repeated.
Why should you consent to electronic W-2?
- Online delivery provides access to your W‐2 statement earlier than the traditional paper process.
- Online delivery minimizes the chance that your W‐2 statement will get lost, misdirected or delayed during delivery or misplaced after received.
- Employee-sensitive information is safer. Electronic delivery helps ensure that your W-2 is delivered directly to you and not opened/seen by the wrong person.
- You can retrieve your W‐2 statements at any time of day and on weekends.
- You can print multiple copies at your convenience.
- Go Green! Contribute to institutional cost savings (e.g., forms, printing and postage expense).
- W‐2 statements will remain online for multiple years.
If you do not consent, a paper W-2 will be mailed to your current address on record.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact oneusgsupport@usg.edu.
