Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement

Form W-2 is an annual summary issued by employers prior to February 1 each year. It lists the employee's taxable income and the amount and type of taxes that were withheld from paychecks during the calendar year just ended. The explanation for amounts found in each box of the W-2 (Excel) is provided by the Kansas Department of Administration, Division of Accounts and Reports.

Employees have the option to receive W-2 forms electronically in early January through State of Kansas Employee Self Service, or in paper form mailed in late January to the employee's home address. The State of Kansas W-2 combines the income information from all State of Kansas sources, whether multiple departments of the university or other state agencies.

K-State Athletics, Inc, the K-State Student Union and Student Publications employees have the option to access their W-2 through Employee Self Service in HRIS, or have it mailed in late January to the employee's home address. To request a duplicate W-2, employees of these organizations need to contact HR.

Kansas State University is not responsible for a W-2 form being delayed or lost in the mail. Employees may update their W-2 mailing address using Employee Self Service in HRIS.

If you have not received a W-2 form by February 1 and believe it is lost, please follow the procedures below:
