2 | |||
3 | During the filing process, there are two options available to distribute employee copies: | ||
4 | |||
5 | * Choose the **Complete W-2 eFiling Service **to elect to have Aatrix print the employee copies and mail them directly to the employee. This service includes online access for employees to print their W-2s. | ||
6 | |||
7 | * Choose **Other Options** and check **Print my Employee W-2s** to elect to print the employee copies in-house. | ||
8 | \\//**Note:** Special paper is required to print the employee copies. For W-2 paper, contact your Account/Payroll Software. When an employee has more information than allowed on the form, the employee will receive an additional W-2 form with the information listed. For example, the W-2 form allows two states to be listed. If the employee has a third filing state, the second W-2 form will only display the company information, employee information, and the additional state. // | ||

14 | === **Envelope Information** === | ||
15 | |||
16 | In order to fit the common W-2 envelope, the address positioning does look different on various copies: | ||
17 | |||
18 | * The **return address** is used for the upper left window pane on the window envelope. | ||
19 | |||
20 | * On the copy in the upper right, the **employee address** was positioned for the addressee pane in the center of the envelope. | ||
21 | |||
22 | * The **social security numbers** were moved away from both addresses to ensure they were not exposed in either window. | ||
23 | \\This was designed in accordance with IRS specifications that the social security number not be visible through the window envelope if it shifts during mailing. |
