Benefits of Electronic W-2 Forms

- Electronic W-2s for the current tax year can be printed as many times as necessary with no fee until 10/15 when you log in to https://my.columbia.edu, After that date, each additional copy is $20. Recipients of paper W-2s can receive one free online copy until 4/15, but each additional copy is $20. Terminated faculty and staff will be able to access electronic W-2s at https://my.colubmia.edu or www.PaperlessEmployee.com/columbiau.
