Electronic W-2 Opt In

Yes. 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 did not opt in prior to December 31, you received a paper copy in the mail of your 2023 W-2. However, if you opt in now, you will also receive an electronic version.

If you opted in, view your W-2s by logging into OPUS, 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.

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 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 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 OPUS by the IRS deadline which is usually January 31.
• If you have an address change in the future, update 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 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 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 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 OPUS.

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

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

• Log into OPUS.
• From the menu at top left (3 lines), select PIN Employee Self Service and Employee W-2.
• Click the PDF icon for the W-2 desired.

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