W2

Looking for Your W2? Here’s How to Get Started!

If you’re searching for your W2, the best place to begin is by reading the instructions provided by our finance department at UMD. The PSYCpayroll office does not have access and cannot retrieve W2s for employees.


How to Find Your Check Advice Number for creating a POSC account.

Follow these steps to locate your check advice number:

  1. Log in to Workday.
  2. In the Search bar, type: My Most Recent Payslip.
  3. Click OK(Please note, this process may take a minute.)
  4. Once loaded, click the PDF in the red top menu bar on the right side of the screen. (This process may also take a minute.)
  5. Your check advice number will be listed in the top row of the check image.

Where did my original paper W-2 get mailed to?

You will need to check your profile address under contacts on the Workday system. The system will indicate “Home,” “Other,” or “Paycheck.” If “Paycheck” is listed by the address, the W2 was sent to that address.

You can also log into the POSC system and print your W2. The address on the W2 is where the original paper was mailed. You can make any address changes needed with the POSC system.


I went to the POSC system, and the W2 is blank.

Select the W2 option as text and not a pdf. This usually resolves the issue.
If not, call 410-260-7964 for assistance.
