Form W-2 and Form 1042-S Information

Forms W-2

Forms W-2 will be available online, to those that opted in for the electronic version, no later than January 31, 2025. A notification will be posted on the Payroll Department website and HR Client Services inquiry page once Forms W-2 are available. For those that did not elect to opt in for the electronic version, hard copy tax forms will be mailed no later than January 31, 2025, to the address that was on file in Pitt Worx as of December 31, 2024. Please allow two weeks for USPS delivery for paper forms.

If you have already opted in to receive an electronic W-2 form, no further action is needed. New hires can opt in to receive an electronic Form W-2 beginning the day after their first pay date. To opt in and consent to receive electronic Forms W-2, please follow these instructions.

The Payroll Department provides electronic duplicate Form W-2 documents for up to three years back through our vendor, ADP. Visit our year-end page for additional information on obtaining prior year Forms W-2.

Forms 1042-S for foreign national employees will be available online to those that opted in for the electronic version and hard copies will be mailed via USPS to employees no later than March 15, 2025. Employees still have time to opt in to receive their 2024 Form 1042-S electronically.
