2021 W-2 Forms Now Available on MyMC
The W-2 tax forms for 2021 are now available on MyMC under Employee Services; they are not accessible in Workday. Those who did not opt for the electronic version of the W-2 in Banner, paper copies were sent via U.S. mail on Friday, January 21, 2022.
If some time has passed since you last accessed MyMC and you are having an issue of logging in, you may need to access the Claim Your Account link on MyMC and enter your M number. If you still have issues with logging on, please contact the IT Service Desk at 240-567-7222.
Beginning in 2022, electronic W-2s will be available in Workday, but employees will need to make an active electronic consent election.
In reviewing 2021 W2s, many employees have inquired about when the final 2021 Social Security wages will populate in Social Security Administration (SSA) accounts. The W2 file for the previous tax year is due to SSA by January 31. Once received and processed, it can take 30 to 45 days to reflect on employees’ SSA wage statements, which typically means employees will see it between the end of February up to mid-March.
