Form W-2 is an Internal Revenue Service tax form used in the United States to report wages paid to employees and the taxes withheld from them.
Starting in 2025 for the 2024 year, we are using the services of ADP to process and file the W-2 tax statements.
- You can access the online 2024 W-2 tax statements and any forthcoming year via My ADP ( www.ohio.edu/myadp ).
- You can access online W-2 tax statements for the years prior to 2024 via My Personal Information (MPI)
Current Employees
Through ADP, you are able to access an electronic version of your W-2. In addition, you have the opportunity to go paperless. There are several key benefits by going paperless:
Electronic delivery is more secure than paper mail:Your W-2 is a legal document that contains your Social Security number and your annual earnings. This information could be compromised if it is lost in the mail or misplaced.
You will have access to your W-2 earlier than those receiving it via mail:Electronic W-2 forms will be available before mailed forms. Employees who sign up for electronic delivery will be notified by email as soon as their W-2 is available.
