Form W-2 Information

Current Year Form W-2

Forms W-2 for wages earned in calendar year 2023 will be mailed to the employee home address on file for all WVU faculty, staff, graduate assistants, and student workers — including WVU Potomac State College, WVU Tech at Beckley and WVU Parkersburg — on or before January 31st, 2024.

Current year Forms W-2 are also available online for current WVU employees through the MyHR tab in the WVU Portal. You must be connected to the WVU Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access your W-2 through Portal. You must also have an active WVU Login account. Detailed instructions on accessing your W-2 electronically can be found in the WVU Shared Services Center Knowledge Base.

Please note: WVU Tax Services cannot provide personal tax advice or assist in preparing personal income tax returns. Please contact a professional tax consultant or advisor for individual tax advice.

Duplicate and Past Year Form W-2 Requests

If you do not have a current WVU Login account, or if you need a copy of a prior year's Form W-2, please contact Tax Services to request an electronic copy. For verification purposes, be sure to provide:
  • Your name,
  • A contact telephone number,
  • The month and year of your birth, and
  • Your WVUID (if you do not remember your WVUID, you can look it up using WVU Login Self-Service; this service works for both current and ex-employees).
For your protection, do not provide your Social Security number via email when requesting your W-2.

Address Updates for Form W-2 Mailing

Current WVU employees can update their mailing address for Form W-2 purposes through the WVU Portal (VPN connection required). Detailed instructions on updating addresses through Portal can be found in the WVU Shared Services Center Knowledge Base. Former employees can submit a Change of Address request to update their W-2 mailing address. Address updates for W-2 mailing should be submitted prior to the end of the calendar year. Address updates submitted after the end of the calendar year may not be processed in time for W-2 mailing.
