UCI UCPath 2024 Year in Review

The UCI UCPath team had a busy and productive 2024. See highlights on our year-end graphic. We look forward to working with our transactors and partners for another successful year ahead to make the UCPath process more efficient and effective together. 

Important Tax / W-2 Reminders

UCPath will begin creating W-2 forms in mid-January. Ensure that your personal email and home address is correct and current in UCPath online, and follow these important reminders:

• Verify your dependents. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires UC to make reasonable efforts to obtain Social Security numbers for employees, their spouses/ domestic partners and dependents. To review or update your information, log in to UCPath online, then select Employee Actions > Health and Welfare > Dependent Coverage
• International workers: Verify your GLACIER account information. International employees may receive a W-2 or 1042-S (Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding). To ensure your tax information is sent correctly, verify that your personal email and home addresses match exactly in UCPath online and the GLACIER tax database. You may also opt to have an electronic 1042-S through GLACIER. Learn more about Form 1042-S

Important security reminder:
UC does not send 1095-C or W-2 statements by email or text.

• Do not open attachments or click email links that claim to provide access to your 1095-C or W-2.
• To access your electronic tax documents, always visit UCPath online using a safe/known link.
• If you receive an email or text with a link or an attachment for viewing these statements, it is a phishing scam designed to gain private information.
