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.
You may print your W-2 online through Workday.
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.
