Why can't my employees view their w2s?

Welcome to this thread, Cjtres.

 

This can be an issue with your employee's browser. You can ask them to try accessing the Workforce using a private browser. This is a good place to start the troubleshooting since this type of browser doesn't store cache 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P

If it works on their end, ask them to clear the cache of their regular browser. This will delete those temporarily stored files and browsing history. Also, they can use other supported browsers to better isolate the possibility of a browser-related issue.

 

In the meantime, you might want to email/print your employees a copy of their W2s.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll Tax Center.

    1. Choose Employees and click Payroll Center.
    2. Click the File Forms tab.
    3. Select View/Print Forms & W-2s.
    4. Enter Payroll PIN. Click OK.
  2. Click the View Employee W-2 forms for all years link in the box on the right.
  3. Click on the name of the employee for the W-2 you want to print and follow the Adobe instructions to open the form in Adobe Reader.
  4. To print W-2 forms, choose File, then  Print. Click Save.


    To email the W-2, choose File, then Send. Once done, click Page by Email.

Again we have employees that are not able to view their W-2s.  Some can while others cannot.  We have gone through all of the steps previously listed and nothing works.  When will this be fixed?
