Electronic W-2 Consent

Foothill-De Anza Community College District is required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to furnish all employees with Form W-2 each calendar year for compensation received. Form W-2 is used to file annual income tax returns with federal, state and local agencies. This form details the employee's compensation and tax withholding amounts for the calendar year, January 1 to December 31.

Starting with 2011 Form W-2, the District is now seeking for its active employees' consent to receive Form W-2 in an electronic format through the District's Portal at: https://myportal.fhda.edu/cp/home/displaylogin. Annually, the District will notify you via email when your Electronic Form W-2 is available (usually by mid-January). Once consent is provided, the active employee will no longer receive the paper Form W2 via U.S. Postal Service. This option will be valid for all subsequent tax years unless you terminate employment or revoke the consent. The IRS regulations require that employees give their consent to receive Form W-2 in an electronic format. Without the consent, the District is required to provide employees with paper Form W-2s by January 31st of the following calendar year for each tax year that compensation was received. Form W-2s are to be mailed to the permanent mailing address on record. To ensure timely delivery of W-2 to your most current address, please be sure to update your new address within 10 business days if you experience a change of address.
