Address change reminder for tax documents
Each year the State Controller's Office (SCO) mails W-2 forms to the address of record for state employees. You should receive a W-2 form by February 15 of each year. If your current address is different than what was printed on your October Pay Period Statement of Earning or your home address has changed recently, it is important to change your address of record so that your W-2 form is mailed to the correct address. The deadline for submitting address changes is usually the first week in December.
