W-2 Electronic Consent and Retrieval


Indiana University employees can choose to receive their W-2 through a secure website to view, print, download a file to a local machine, or download the tax information directly into tax software. If an employee does not provide their consent for electronic delivery, a paper copy will be mailed to the employee’s home address.
