W-2 Information for Commonwealth of Massachusetts Employees

When will I get my W-2?

Electronic Forms W-2 for 2022 are now available for employees who go paperless through HR/CMS.

OPEN HR/CMS SELF-SERVICE

Paper Forms W-2 will be postmarked by January 31, 2023, and paper Forms 1095-C will be postmarked by March 2, 2023 and mailed to the employee’s home address.

Undeliverable paper Forms W-2 are sent to CTR where, per IRS general instructions, they are stored until April 15 of the current tax year. After that date they will be destroyed.

​​What if I worked for more than one department?

Employees with jobs spanning more than one department will receive a single Form W-2 if all earnings were paid against a single Employee ID. Form W-2s are based on Employee ID, not Employee Record Number.

Go Paperless

State employees can suppress their paper Form W-2 and Form 1095-C through HR/CMS Self-Service Time and Attendance.

Going paperless helps employees get their forms faster, and is more secure. In addition, this saves the Commonwealth money and is environmentally friendly. View instructions on Mass.gov.
