W-2: Wage and Tax Statement

Wage and Tax Statements (W-2’s) are annual statements that reflect all wages issued January 1st through December 31st of a given tax year. The State Controller’s Office generates W-2’s and distributes them to the home address on file with Human Resources.

W-2’s are mailed by January 31st of each year‚ for the preceding tax year. If‚ after this date‚ you have not received your W-2 form‚ please contact Payroll Services at 619-594-5251.

In the event that you lose your W-2‚ or require a duplicate copy for another reason‚ you can request one directly from the State Controller’s Office. Please see Request for Duplicate Wage and Tax Statement . There is an $8.50 processing fee per tax year requested.

If you are currently employed with the university‚ you must pay for your duplicate W-2 via payroll deduction. Please ensure that you check this option on the request form. If your current position does not allow for voluntary deductions (student assistants or retired annuitants)‚ or you are no longer employed by the university‚ you may remit payment by either a cashier’s check or money order‚ payable to the State Controller’s Office. Personal checks will not accepted by the State Controller’s Office.

If you need assistance with completing the request form‚ please contact Payroll Services at 619-594-5251 and our staff will be happy to assist you.
