Employee Information

WVU Tax Services encourages all employees to conduct a regular review of their pay statements to ensure sufficient tax is being withheld from their pay, as well as ensuring state income tax is being withheld for the correct state. Employee pay statements can be accessed through the employee role on the WVU Portal (VPN connection not required). Detailed instructions on accessing pay statements can be found in the WVU Shared Services Knowledge Base.

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.

Employees that need to change their tax withholding can find information on the Payroll Tax Withholding page. Tax withholding cannot be updated until updated forms have been submitted and withholding changes cannot be backdated. Please note that updating your address will not update your state income tax withholding. You must complete and submit new tax withholding forms to update state income tax withholding.

Current year Forms W-2 are available electronically through the WVU Portal for active employees (VPN connection required). Instructions on accessing your W-2 through the WVU Portal can be found in the WVU Shared Services Center Knowledge Base. Please contact Tax Services for previous years' Forms W-2 for current employees, as well as all Forms W-2 for ex-employees. Please visit the Form W-2 Information page for additional details.

Information on Social Security and Medicare tax withholding (collectively referred to as Federal Insurance Contribution Act or "FICA" taxes) can be found on the FICA Tax Withholding page.

Information on taxable fringe benefits can be found on the Taxable Fringe Benefits page (for taxable fringe benefits that are non-educational related) and the Employer Provided Education Assistance page (for employee tuition waivers).
