NOTICE: 2016 Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement is Online

From COH Payroll:

Your 2016 Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement is available online at the ESS portal at https://portal.houstontx.gov/irj/portall. A hard copy will be distributed later this month. Although the online version and the distributed hard copy may not appear exactly the same, both versions meet all IRS filing requirements and can be used as documentation for your income tax filing.

Please be aware that you must have a PDF document viewer, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, installed on your computer in order to view your statement.

Once logged into ESS:

• Click on the 'Employee Self Service' tab located next to the 'Home' tab.
• On the next screen, click on the tab titled 'My Pay'.
• A new window will appear displaying your most recent paychecks. You may close this window.
• On the original web browser window, click on menu item to the left labeled 'View Your W-2 Online'. [Note: If you do not see this link, click on 'Detailed Navigation'/ and the link should appear. - MR]
• The selection window on the next screen should default to your 2016 W-2 statement. Select your 2016 statement so that it is highlighted and then click the button 'Display'.
• Scroll down the page and your W-2 statement should appear in a window at the bottom of the screen. Hovering over the statement will make links for saving and printing your statement available. Please save a local copy or print your statement.

Employees who fail to receive their W-2 form by January 31 and are unable to print one from ESS should contact Payroll Services at 832-393-8900 to obtain a duplicate copy.
