2021 Tax Documents

Please review your information, including address, by Thursday, January 13, 2022 to ensure timely distribution of tax documents.

Tax Form Information:

Active UW team members can receive W-2 and 1095-C forms via electronic-only distribution. The W-2 form includes compensation and tax withholding for the previous calendar year. The 1095-C form documents that a team member who worked full-time for all or some months in the previous year was offered health insurance. Electronic forms are available earlier than mailed paper forms. Electronic delivery is environmentally friendly and secure, with less risk of lost or stolen forms.
