Electronic 2021 W-2s are now available in OneUSG Connect. To view or download your W-2, follow these steps:

1. Log into OneUSG Connect.
2. Click the Payroll tile.
3. Click the Taxes tile.
4. Land on the View W-2/W-2c Forms page.
5. For the Tax Year 2021, click Year End Form.

• 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.
• 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).
