Electronic W-2 Opt In

Yes. Your 2024 W-2 will be available electronically in January 2025 via EBS (OPUS) if you opt in.

If you previously opted in, then you will continue to receive your W-2 electronically. If you have not opted in but would like to begin receiving your W-2 electronically, see the instructions above. December 31, 2024 is the deadline to opt in to receive your 2024 W-2 electronically next January.

You can opt in at any time and immediately access an electronic version of your 2023 W-2 and any previous W-2’s. If you do not opt in prior to December 31, you will receive a paper copy of your 2024 W-2 in the mail.

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 EBS (OPUS).
• 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.
