Smith College is required by the IRS to provide all employees with a Form W-2 for each calendar year to be used in completing the employee’s annual tax return. The Form W-2 details the employee’s compensation and tax withholding amounts for the year.
Current employees may choose to receive their W-2 forms online through the Workday system. In making this election W-2 forms are accessible at any time.
