Are you wondering how to get a Publix W-2 form this tax season?
Whether you are a current employee or a former associate, accessing tax documents should be a quick and secure process. While former associates lose direct access to the Passport portal, there is a clear path for everyone to get the necessary forms.
If you’re a current or former Publix employee needing your W-2 form for tax filing, this article will guide you through accessing, requesting duplicates, and resolving any issues. We’ll cover everything you need to know, including when your W-2 will be available and what to do if it’s missing or incorrect.
Let’s dive in!
The Form W-2 is the most important tax document I’ll receive, as it reports all my annual wages, tips, and other compensation, as well as the federal, state, and local taxes Publix withheld.
How to Get Publix W-2 Forms?
If you’re a current or former Publix employee and need your W-2 form for tax filing, this guide will walk you through the steps to access or request your W-2.
A. If I Am a CURRENT Publix Associate
If I am an active associate, I have two options for receiving my W-2:
- Online Access (Preferred): If I elect to receive my W-2 electronically, I can access it through the associate portal, PASSport. These forms are usually available earlier, often starting in the second or third week of January.
- How to Access: Log into PASSport and check under the “My Documents” or “Tax” sections.
- Paper Copy: If I did not elect for electronic delivery, my printed W-2 will be delivered to me, often in my payroll bag, by January 31st.
B. If I Am a FORMER Publix Associate
If I am no longer employed by Publix Super Markets, my Passport account is deactivated, and the process is different:
- Automatic Mailing: Publix is legally required to mail my W-2 to my last known home address by January 31st.
- If My Address Changed (The Common Issue): If I have moved since leaving Publix Markets, my W-2 will likely be sent to my old address.
- Action Needed: I must call the Publix corporate office to get my address changed and request a duplicate W-2.
- Publix Payroll Contact: The general corporate phone number is (863) 688-7407, extension 22311 for Payroll. I should call during standard business hours (e.g., Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Eastern Time).
Once you’ve understood how current and former Publix associates can access their W-2 forms, it’s time to explore the investment side of things.

How I Request a Duplicate W-2 from Publix Markets?
If you are a current associate and consented to electronic delivery, your W-2 is available to view and download in PDF format directly from the Publix associate portal, PASSport, usually well before the January 31st deadline. If you are a former associate or a current associate who has not received your form, here is the reliable, first-person process I follow:

What I Do if My W-2 is Missing or Incorrect
If the statutory deadline of January 31st has passed and I haven’t received my W-2, or if I notice an error on the form I did receive, I follow these steps immediately:
Check Online Account
Current Associates: I log into the PASSport portal and look under the “My Documents” or “Tax Documents” section to confirm the W-2 is not available for electronic access.
Former Associates: I know that once I’ve resigned, my access to PASSport is revoked. My only option is to contact the corporate office directly, as the form would have been mailed to the last address they had on file.
Contact Corporate Payroll Department
- This is the most reliable and direct way to get a resolution, especially if I am a former employee or need a duplicate copy mailed.
- I call the Publix Corporate Office and ask to be connected to Payroll Services to request a duplicate W-2.
- When I call, I make sure to have my Personnel Number (P-Number), my full name, and my correct current mailing address ready.
Request for Correction
- If I received my W-2 but found an error (such as an incorrect name, Social Security Number, or wage amount), I immediately contact the Payroll Department.
- I clearly explain the error and formally request a corrected Form W-2, also known as a W-2c (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement). They are the only ones who can issue a correction.
Note on Timing: The sooner I contact Payroll, the sooner I get the duplicate or correction, which helps me file my taxes on time and avoid potential issues with the IRS.
FAQ’s
When will my W-2 be available?
My W-2 is generally available electronically through PASSport starting mid-to-late January, and all mailed forms are sent by the IRS deadline of January 31st.
Where do I get my W-2 at Publix Super Markets?
My W-2 is mailed to the last address Publix has on file; if I have moved, I need to call the Publix Payroll Department to update my address and request a copy.
What is the difference between a W-2 and a 1099-DIV?
The W-2 reports my employment wages and taxes withheld, while the 1099-DIV reports the investment income (dividends) I received as a shareholder.
Why haven’t I received a 1099-DIV or 1099-B?
I only receive these forms if I received $10 or more in dividends (1099-DIV) or if I sold stock (1099-B) during the tax year.
What phone number should I call for a missing W-2?
I should call the Publix corporate office at (863) 688-7407, extension 22311, to reach the Payroll Department for W-2 assistance.
