When Will Walmart W-2s Be Available Online in 2025?

Walmart, like clockwork, understands the importance of providing its associates with their W-2 forms in a timely manner for tax season. Historically, Walmart has made W-2s available online no later than January 31st. For 2025, expect your W-2 to be accessible online through the MyMoney app or the Walmart Associate Information Line website by January 31, 2025. Keep an eye out for official announcements from Walmart, as sometimes these dates can shift slightly due to unforeseen circumstances. However, January 31st remains the standard target date.

Understanding Your Walmart W-2 Form

The W-2 form, officially known as the Wage and Tax Statement, is a critical document for filing your annual income tax return. It summarizes your earnings and taxes withheld throughout the year, providing the information you need to accurately report your income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Understanding the components of your W-2 can simplify the tax filing process and help you avoid errors.

Key Components of Your W-2

Box 1: Total Wages, Tips, and Other Compensation: This box reflects your total taxable income earned from Walmart during the year. This includes your regular salary, wages, bonuses, commissions, and other forms of compensation.
Box 2: Federal Income Tax Withheld: This shows the amount of federal income tax that was withheld from your paychecks throughout the year. This amount is credited towards your total federal income tax liability.
Box 3: Social Security Wages: This displays the amount of your earnings subject to Social Security taxes. There’s typically a wage base limit, meaning that earnings above a certain amount are not subject to Social Security tax.
Box 4: Social Security Tax Withheld: This indicates the total amount of Social Security tax withheld from your paychecks.
Box 5: Medicare Wages and Tips: This shows the amount of your earnings subject to Medicare taxes. Unlike Social Security, there is no wage base limit for Medicare tax.
Box 6: Medicare Tax Withheld: This indicates the total amount of Medicare tax withheld from your paychecks.
Box 15-20: State and Local Information: These boxes provide information about state and local taxes withheld, including the state and local wages, income tax withheld, and the relevant state and locality codes.

Accessing Your Walmart W-2 Online

Walmart offers a convenient and secure way to access your W-2 online. This eliminates the need to wait for a paper copy in the mail. The primary methods for accessing your W-2 online are through the MyMoney app and the Walmart Associate Information Line (OneWalmart) website.

Using the MyMoney App

The MyMoney app is a popular resource for Walmart associates to manage their payroll and access important tax documents. To access your W-2 via the MyMoney app:

Download and Install: If you haven’t already, download the MyMoney app from your device’s app store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store).
Log In: Use your Walmart login credentials (your WIN and password) to log in to the app.
Navigate to Tax Forms: Look for a section labeled “Tax Forms,” “W-2,” or similar.
View and Download: Select the tax year (2024 for the 2025 tax season) and view or download your W-2 form.

Using the Walmart Associate Information Line (OneWalmart) Website

The Walmart Associate Information Line website, often accessed through OneWalmart, is another reliable method for retrieving your W-2.

Access the Website: Go to the OneWalmart website using your web browser.
Log In: Log in using your Walmart login credentials (your WIN and password).
Navigate to Associate Information: Find the section related to “Associate Information,” “Payroll,” or “Tax Forms.”
View and Download: Locate your W-2 for the appropriate tax year (2024 for the 2025 tax season) and view or download it.

What To Do If You Don’t Receive Your W-2

While Walmart typically provides W-2s promptly, there are instances where associates may not receive their forms by the expected date. Here are steps to take if you haven’t received your W-2 by the end of January:

Verify Your Address: Ensure that Walmart has your correct mailing address. You can update your address through the MyMoney app or the Walmart Associate Information Line website.
Check Online Access: As mentioned above, try accessing your W-2 online through the MyMoney app or the Walmart Associate Information Line website.
Contact Walmart HR: If you still haven’t received your W-2 and cannot access it online, contact Walmart Human Resources (HR). They can assist you in obtaining a copy of your W-2.
Contact the IRS: As a last resort, if you haven’t received your W-2 by mid-February, you can contact the IRS. The IRS can help you obtain a copy of your W-2 from Walmart or provide instructions on how to file your taxes without it. You’ll likely need to file Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement.
