How do WSU employees access W2 forms online?

To access your W-2 form, please follow these steps:

1. Sign in to Employee Self Service, www.state.mn.us/employee, using the same user ID and password that you use to access your paystub.
2. On the State of Minnesota Employee Self Service home page, select Other Payroll.
3. On the Other Payroll page, select W-2.
4. Your W-2 form displays.
5. You may have a W-2 that includes two pages. If so, you will have a link beneath the Year/State Selection link that indicates Page 1 of 2. Clicking this link displays the second page, Page 2 of 2, which will have additional entries for Box 12.
6. If you live or work in a state other than Minnesota, you may have a W-2 for more than one state. To access your other W-2 form(s), select Year/State Selection at the top of the page and then select View W2 for the W-2 you want to display.
7. Select the print icon at the top of the browser page to print as many copies of your W-2 form as needed. The W-2 should be printed on white paper. If your W-2 form includes two pages, each page will need to be printed separately.

If you have not consented to receive your W-2 form electronically, you can do so at any time. Sign in to the Employee Self Service site, select Other Payroll and then W-2. A pop-up box will appear allowing you to consent to receive your W-2 form electronically. Once you consent, you will be able to access your W-2 form immediately. If you consent prior to the time W-2s are printed by the state, a W-2 will not be mailed.
