Year-end tax forms will be available for employees to download from self-service or mailed to their address, depending on their choice for electronic delivery of tax forms.
Electronic Year-End Tax Forms
For clients who empowered employees and contractors to receive their year-end tax forms online, they were automatically prompted to make their consent choice during initial registration or when they logged in for the first time after the electronic delivery option was enabled. Their selection controls online access to these year-end tax forms in both the Adaptive Employee Experience (AEX) and ESS Classic View:
- Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement
- Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation
- 1095-B, Health Coverage – IRS (ACA)
- 1095-C, Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage (ACA)
For the 2023 tax year, online access will be based on the employee’s electronic delivery consent status on January 15, 2024.
Employees will be able to access tax forms electronically through the Adaptive Employee Experience (AEX), isolved People Cloud mobile app, or ESS Classic View on:
