How Former Walmart Associates Can Retrieve Their W-2 Tax Forms
As a former Walmart associate, obtaining your W-2 tax form is important for tax preparation and record-keeping. Walmart provides a variety of methods to help you retrieve your W-2 form. Whether you choose to access it online, contact HR, or use third-party services, this guide will walk you through the process.
Online Access
One of the most convenient ways to obtain your W-2 form is through online access. Walmart offers this service through their Walmart One portal. Here's how you can access your W-2 form:
Login: Visit the Walmart One portal where you will be prompted to log in using your Walmart credentials. If you've forgotten your login information, follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password.
Navigate to the W-2 Section: Once logged in, you'll find a section specifically for W-2 forms. Here, you can view or download your W-2.
However, if you are a former associate who has difficulty accessing your form, this method may not always be available. In such cases, consider the other options discussed below.
Mail Delivery
Walmart typically sends W-2 forms to employees by the end of January each year. This mail delivery is usually to the last known address on file for the employee. If your W-2 form has not arrived by the expected time, you should verify the address on file with Walmart. If there are any discrepancies, update your information immediately.
Here are the steps to ensure your address is correct:
Contact Walmart HR or Payroll
Request a status update on your W-2 form
Update your address, if necessary
Contacting HR or Payroll
If you are still unable to access your W-2 form through online portals or have not received it via mail, your best bet is to contact Walmart's Human Resources or Payroll department. They can offer you additional assistance and guidance:
Reach Out to HR or Payroll
Describe the issue you are facing
Follow up with HR or Payroll on the status of your request
Third-Party Services
In some cases, Walmart may partner with third-party services for distributing tax documents. You should check any communications from Walmart to see if such a service is in place. If so, you can use these services to obtain your W-2 form. Typically, these services will provide you with alternative ways to access your documents, such as additional online portals or e-mail delivery.

If Walmart does not provide a satisfactory method for retrieving your W-2 form, there are a few more options to consider:
