Your W-2 can be found in Workday under Tax Elections.

Why don't Boxes 1, 3, 5, and 16 agree with my annual gross earnings?

The IRS Form W-2 reports taxable earnings paid between January 1 and December 31 of each calendar year.

  • Box 1: Wages, tips, other compensation: The amount is calculated as gross wages reduced by the pre-tax payroll deductions such as retirement, deferred compensation contributions, medical, dental and vision premium, parking, and dependent care.

  • Box 3: Social security wages: Since employees of Miami University are public employees, their earnings are not subject to Social Security tax.

  • Box 5: Medicare wages and tips: The amount is calculated as gross wages reduced by the pre-tax payroll deductions such as medical, dental and vision premium, parking, and dependent care.

  • Box 16: State wages, tips, etc.: The amount is calculated as gross wages reduced by the pre-tax payroll deductions such as retirement, deferred compensation contributions, medical, dental and vision premium, parking, and dependent care.

What do the letters C, E, G, W, BB, and DD in code Box 12 reflect?

  • Code 12C: This is the cost of group term life insurance over $50,000, included as taxable income in boxes 1, 5, and 16.

  • Code 12E: This is the amount of elective deferrals under section 403(b).

  • Code 12G: This is the amount you contributed to your 457(b) retirement plan on a tax-deferred basis.

  • Code 12W: This is the employer contributions (including amounts the employee elected to contribute) using section 125 (cafeteria plan) to your health savings account.

  • Code 12BB: This is the designated Roth contributions under section 403(b).

  • Code 12DD: This is the total cost of the employer sponsored health coverage you received during the year. This figure includes both the employee and employer paid shares of health insurance premiums and is for informational purposes only. This amount is not taxable. Premiums for dental, vision, and other insurance coverage are not included.

What should I do if the address listed on my W-2 is incorrect?

It is ok to submit a W-2 with your tax return in which the address printed on the W-2 does not reflect your home address. Payroll Services does not issue or re-issue an amended form (W-2C - Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) due to an incorrect address. However, we recommend that you update your address in Workday or contact the Department of Human Resources to have your address corrected.

How do I get a duplicate copy of my W-2? I lost or never received my W-2.

You may print your W-2 online through Workday.

How do I get my W-2 if I am no longer employed with Miami University?

A W-2 was mailed to all individuals who were previously employed at Miami University. Please allow time for your W-2 to arrive. If you have not received your W-2 by February 9, contact Payroll Services to request a duplicate copy to be mailed.
