Electronic W-2 forms: ensure your preference is set up in MPI

As part of the ongoing multi-factor authentication (MFA) migration initiative, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) has been working to migrate all current OHIO faculty and staff from Duo Mobile to Microsoft Azure MFA .

If you have successfully migrated to Azure MFA and have received an electronic W-2 form previously or would like to begin receiving an electronic form for the upcoming year, you will need to update your selection in the My Personal Information section of myhr.ohio.edu .

The change from Duo to Azure MFA introduces changes to the authentication method that is used to access your W-2 form electronically through My Personal Information. As a result of this change, the IRS requires renewed consent be obtained from employees who wish to continue receiving electronic W-2 forms.

Please take a moment and re-enroll now if you would like to continue receiving your W-2 form online. You can also follow the steps below to sign up for electronic delivery of your W-2 form for the first time.
