Employees will soon receive tax forms W-2, 1095-C and 1042-S
All 2019 W-2s will be mailed by Jan. 31, and 2019 1095-Cs will be mailed by March 2 to mailing addresses employees have on file in their employee portals. Both forms will be available in the portal shortly after release.
All 1042-S forms will be mailed no later than March 15.
Form W-2
The W-2 reports employees’ wage and salary information as well as the amount of federal, state and other taxes withheld from their paychecks.
Forms will be available in ESS on Jan. 31. Access Form W-2 in the portal:
- Log into the employee portal.
- Select the CU Resources tab. (CU System employees can skip this step.)
- Open the CU Resources Home dropdown menu at the top of the page and select My Info and Pay.
- Choose the W-2 tile. You will be prompted to verify your identity before you can access this information.
Note for employees who access their W-2 through the ADP portal: You must enter the zip code you lived in as of Jan. 6.
What if employees see two different W-2s in their portals?
If employees see two W-2s (CU and CUR), it is recommended that they submit the ADP W-2 with their tax filing. This W-2 is a combination of CU and CUR wage and tax information. Submitting multiple W-2s from the same company or with the same EIN may cause confusion with the IRS and states, which may cause a delay in processing their tax return.
What if employees did not receive their W-2 in the mail?
Employees who do not receive their W-2 in the mail should reference the Employee Services website for next steps.
Form 1042-S
Non-resident and resident alien taxpayers whose wages are eligible for a tax treaty exemption, and non-residents who received taxable or tax treaty exempt non-qualified scholarship payments, will be issued Form 1042-S.
Individuals with tax treaty exempt income or a taxable scholarship should wait to receive the 1042-S before filing personal income tax returns. In some cases, non-resident employees may also receive Form W-2 if receiving taxable wages.
