Excerpt from a recent email that arrived from the powers-that-be:

Important Information About Your 2018 W-2s

For the 2018 year, all UCLA employees will receive two (2) W-2s for this year’s earnings:

• One (1) for earnings before the UCPath go [sic] live. This W-2 will be available in AYSO (hyperlink).

• One (1) for earnings after the UCPath go [sic] live. This W-2 will be available in the UCPath Portal.

As a reminder, your designated W-2 delivery option (mail or online options) in AYSO transferred over into UCPath at the time of go-live. If you have not already signed up to receive an electronic W-2, the deadline for requesting one for your 2018 tax information is January 18, 2019.

To sign up for electronic W-2s or confirm your designation, take the following steps:

1. Login to UCPath Online

2. Select Employee Actions

3. Select Income and Taxes

4. Select Enroll to Receive Online W-2

If your current status says CONSENT RECEIVED, then you do not have to do anything — you’re already signed up to receive your W-2 electronically.

Once you’ve signed up, all notifications pertaining to your W-2/W-2c will be sent to your preferred email address on file in the UCPath system. Please verify that your email address is correct in UCPath.

Important security reminders about your W-2

Remember that UC does not send actual W-2 statements to employees by email or text. You must sign in to your UCPath account to view your electronic W-2 (if you enrolled to receive one).

If you receive an email or text that has a link or an attachment for viewing your W-2, it is a phishing scam designed to gain your private information. Do not open any attachments or click on any email links that claim to give you access to your W-2!

To access your electronic W-2 statement, always go directly to your UCPath account using a safe, known link.
