Stanford has discontinued use of a third-party provider for printing, online posting and mailing W-2 forms, and now handles all of those functions in-house. In recent weeks, the university has printed, posted and mailed 2016 W-2 forms: Stanford printed W-2 forms for employees who did not opt for online delivery and mailed them Jan. Stanford posted W-2 forms online in Axess on Jan. The forms are available for all current employees, postdocs and students, including recent graduates. Stanford printed W-2 forms for former employees who worked at Stanford during 2016 and mailed them Jan. Former employees who require a copy of their W-2 form should contact the Financial Support Center at (650) 723-2772. What additional steps can employees take to protect and monitor their identity?
