Electronic Nirvana or Paper Purgatory?
The first question is: do you want to embrace the digital age or stick to the tried-and-true paper method?
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
- Electronic Delivery: If you’re a tech-savvy soul who loves the convenience of email, you can opt for electronic delivery of your W-2. It’s like getting a surprise party in your inbox, but with numbers instead of confetti. To enroll, you usually have to do it before a certain date, so don’t be late to this party!
- Paper Trail: If you prefer the feel of paper in your hands (or maybe you just want to use it as kindling for your fireplace), you can request a paper copy. Just remember, the mail in NYC is a bit like the subway system – it can be unpredictable.
