Important Reminder: Current and Terminated Employees who have elected to access their Form W-2 online in the past, will not receive a paper copy of their 2007 W-2 in the mail unless they choose to withdraw consent by the close of business on January 22, 2008.

The only exceptions are employees who have transferred to another state agency during the last calendar year. Employees who transferred to another state agency in 2007 will have to re-elect to access their form W-2 online or they will receive a paper copy in the mail.

Note: All current employees and any employee who terminated after December 31, 2006 have the ability to access their W-2 on the web.

Advantages of Online W-2
Beyond the obvious time advantage of having your W-2 form delivered electronically, there are several other key benefits to the Online W-2 program:

• Greater security and protection from identity theft – Since your W-2 form can only be accessed through our secure internet site, there is no risk of your paper form being lost or misdelivered by the post office, or stolen by a mail thief.
• Online storage – Your W-2 form will be stored online for easy access in the future. In fact, if you choose to view your W-2 online, you will be able to view your current year’s W-2 and up to 4 years of past W-2s.
• Easier online tax filing – The State of Idaho has partnered with Turbo Tax to enable you to automatically download your W-2 into this popular tax preparation software package.

• No more lost forms – If you do not sign up to receive your W-2 online and you lose your paper form, you will have to wait until February 1, 2008, for your request for a replacement form to be processed. Additionally, you will be charged a $5.00 fee to have a duplicate W-2 form printed.

3. IMPORTANT DEADLINE: If you do not want to receive your W-2 form through the mail, you must sign up for this free service by the close of business on January 22, 2008. Otherwise, your W-2 form will be mailed to you.
