ost employees of Auburn and AUM (56%) have chosen to go paperless for their W-2 forms. By opting for electronic W-2 forms, employees are not only reducing paper waste but also benefiting from the convenience and efficiency that digital documents provide.

-
At any time, you can access your Form W-2 at home, at your accountant’s office, or anywhere else.

Access is secure; the forms can only be accessed with AU credentials.
-
Going paperless promotes sustainability by reducing paper and is a cost savings (forms, printing, and postage expense) for Auburn University.
