When W-2 forms for the previous calendar year are available. These steps will help with accessing electronically through the State of Kansas Employee Self Service (ESS) Portal. This option allows employees to securely receive their W-2 electronically and save or print from your own computer.
Employees who have previously consented to receive the W-2 electronically (last year) will still be in effect for this year. Employees who would like to sign up for the electronic copy must log on to and consent to receive this information electronically. This option indicates you will not receive a printed W-2 form. You can withdraw this option at any time. Full instructions are below for assistance in using the ESS portal.
Employees, who do not access the portal or do not consent to receiving the electronic W-2 form, will receive a traditional paper form. The forms are scheduled to be printed and mailed by January 31 of the current year. As always, be sure to have updated your correct mailing address in the personal information on file.
NOTE:
If you have any questions on how to retrieve your W2, please call the payroll office at 316-978-3074.
