Benefits of Signing Up for Online W-2
For years The Employer Group has offered the option of receiving your W-2 electronically. There are many benefits to signing up for this service versus having your W-2 mailed through U.S. postal service each year.
First, you receive the W-2 immediately when it’s ready instead of having to wait for it to be printed and mailed. You receive an email as soon the W-2 is ready, go online to retrieve it, and you can get a head start on your taxes without waiting.
Next, you have access to as many copies as you want or need. For every year you are signed up for the online W-2 those W-2’s are available online whenever you would need them. It will save you time from having to track it down in your home or contacting The Employer Group.
Finally, you don’t have to worry about it getting lost in the mail. Since the W-2 is done electronically there isn’t a chance that something would happen to it in the mail, your taxes would be delayed, and a copy of your W-2 wouldn’t be floating around not in your possession.
Signing up for this option is a simple process.
- Go to w2copy.com
- Click the E-W2 sign up
- Enter TEG’s company code ix7130
- Enter a username and password that you will remember in the future.
- Enter social security number, name, and valid email address.
- Indicate you want your email W-2 notification.
- Make sure you click the confirmation email you receive and that your computer accepts pop-ups.
If you have used this service in the past then all you’ll need to do is log-in with the information that you created in previous years and turn on the option to receive your W-2 electronically. It will say YES this account will receive E-W2.
This service will help you avoid any potential headaches with your W-2 and it will allow you to have all your TEG W-2’s available in one location.
