2019 Form W-2: Wage and Tax Statements

Employees will be able to download their 2019 Form W-2: Wage and Tax Statements from the At Your Service Online (AYSO) website starting no later than Friday, Jan. 31. While UCI recently converted to the UCPath system, tax forms for last year’s wages will be available only on the AYSO website.

If you are enrolled in electronic delivery, you will receive an email notification when the form is ready for download. The W-2 Statement page on the Accounting website includes more detailed instructions. Next year's W-2 will be available from UCPath Online.

For employees who have not opted into online delivery, a paper form will be delivered to you via campus mail. If you do not receive a W-2 by Jan. 31 – and did not previously elect online delivery – please check with the person who distributes mail in your unit. If the document cannot be located, email payroll@uci.edu to verify the distribution.

If you need to replace a lost W-2 Form, you can log into AYSO using the instructions above and download the form as a PDF – even if you haven't opted into online delivery. If you are unable to do this, please contact your unit’s payroll coordinator for help or email the Payroll Office at payroll@uci.edu.
