        FAQ:

        I am no longer employed by my company, can I still access my W-2?

        Yes! You will never lose access to your GoCo account. Simply follow the instructions above.

        I can't remember my password to my GoCo account

        Why isn't my W-2 available?


        If you can't find your W-2 under your GoCo Documents:
        1. It probably isn't ready yet. Execupay generates all W-2s for current employees as well as terminated employees from the previous year who were included in your prior payroll system. Once they are processed, per federal guidelines, employers have until January 31st to provide W2s to employees.
        2. Your company does not use GoCo's Embedded Payroll. A quick way to determine this is to see if you have access to your paystubs as well in GoCo. If you do not, your company does not use GoCo's Payroll!

        3. Some reports are ready in Execupay but not showing in GoCo yet. 
          • Want to pull these reports as they generate? 
            • Go to your Execupay home page and click on the Reports tab at the top right of the screen. 
            • Select Delivered to Employees under "Standard Reports" on the left toolbar and search for your W2's using the search bar.

        How do I access my Contractors 1099 reports?

        • Starting 2023 Execupay will file 1099s, however they will not be posted in GoCo or sent out to employees. The admin will need to pull the reports from Execupay using the same process described above.

        Does Embedded Payroll or GoCo mail out W-2s to team member addresses? 

        • No. If admins want to mail out W-2s, the admin can bulk download the reports in their embedded payroll system or pay them to mail them to the company for disbursement 
          • 🌟Note: employees will always be able to grab their W-2's electronically from their GoCo accounts as soon as they are generated. 

        Where do termed employees (who never made it to GoCo) get their W-2s?

        • Whenever a company is added into GoCo for Execupay, we ask the company to send us the W-2s/ employee information from their prior payroll system.  As long as that information was sent to us, Execupay will be able to generate a W-2 for that termed employee. 

        If you have additional questions please reach out to your GoCo Team or email us at help@goco.io 💚
