Electronic W-2 Opt In

If you opted in for electronic W-2s, your 2024 W-2 is available in EBS (OPUS). The deadline to opt in to receive your 2024 W-2 electronically was December 31, 2024.

If you opted in, you can view the 2024 W-2 and previous W-2s by logging into the internal EBS (OPUS) site (Edge browser is preferred), selecting Employee Self-Service, selecting Employee W-2, scrolling down to View or Download W2, and clicking the red icon to view your statement. You may print the form or download and save it.

If you did not opt in prior to December 31, you received a paper copy of your 2024 W-2 in the mail to your home address listed in EBS (OPUS) by January 31. You can opt in at any time throughout the year to immediately access an electronic version of your previous W-2’s. Keep in mind that the current year’s W-2 is not available until January of the following year.

This format offers convenient 24-hour availability, early access (no need to wait for mail delivery), security (no chance of your W-2 being lost or stolen), and environmental savings by eliminating the need to print and mail a paper form. You can print the electronic W-2 if needed for your tax return.

• You will no longer receive a copy of your W-2 in the mail.
• Each January, you will be notified by email that your W-2 is available for viewing in EBS (OPUS).

You only need to complete the opt in steps listed above once to give consent to receiving your W-2 electronically from now on.

If you opted in to electronic W-2s, you may view, download or print your electronic W-2s in EBS (OPUS) from 2011 to the present:

• Log into the internal EBS (OPUS) site (Edge browser is preferred).
• From the menu at top left (3 lines), select PIN Employee Self Service and Employee W-2.
• Scroll down to View or Download W2.
• Click the red PDF icon for the W-2 desired.

You may print the form or download and save it.

• If you prefer receiving your W-2 by mail, no action is needed.
• You will receive a mailed copy of your W-2 each year at the address listed in EBS (OPUS) by the IRS deadline which is usually January 31.
• If you have an address change in the future, update EBS (OPUS) promptly with your new address to ensure that you receive your W-2 in the mail.
• NOTE: If you do not opt in to electronic W-2s, you will not be able to view them in EBS (OPUS).

You can change your election at any time. If you decide you would like a mailed W-2 instead of an electronic copy, follow these steps:

• Log into EBS (OPUS).
• From the menu at top left (3 lines), select PIN Employee Self Service and Electronic W-2 Consent.
• Read the Electronic Delivery Consent information.
• Click Update.
• Uncheck the Online check box for the Delivery Method.
• Read the confirmation statement and check the box.
• Click Apply.

If you change your election, it will be effective the day you make the change in EBS (OPUS) and will apply to future W-2 statements only.

No. You only need to opt in once and then all future W-2s will be available for electronic viewing in EBS (OPUS).

No action is needed on your part. When you leave Pinellas County employment, you will not have access to EBS (OPUS) so you will automatically be mailed a paper copy of your last W-2.

No. The IRS requires that we get your permission before we are able to post W-2 forms online.
