This year our W-2 forms will be available online. You should have received an email from payroll@reliant.org with a link to view your W2.
If you did not receive an email, you can use this link http://reliantmission.greenemployee.com to view your W2 directly.
Enter your Reliant email address to sign in and view your form.
You will be asked to consent to receive an electronic W-2 in place of a paper W-2. If you consent to receiving an electronic only copy before our printing deadline (as determined by Greenshades) you will not receive a paper copy, but you may still log in and re-print the electronic copy as many times as you need to in this calendar year. If you do not access your W-2 this way, you will be issued a paper copy by 1/31/2025.
Greenshades will then ask you to verify your identity by sending a code to your Reliant email address (it will be sent from Green Employee Messaging System). Retrieve the code from your inbox and enter it into the verification code box (as shown below) and select NEXT.
You will need to type in the code (not copy and paste) otherwise it will not process and it will have you go through the loop of emailing the verification code again.
This should take you straight to a view of your w2 where you can download the PDF.
Multiple Pages
Some employees could have a multiple-page W2. This happens when you have too many Box 12 codes or when you have multiple local taxes that it need to print on multiple pages. Please make sure you scroll down to review all pages of your W2 when filing your taxes.
Address Change
If you see an incorrect address was used, please inform us of your new address using the provided link (change of address form-US, change of address form-INTL). However, we can not resend the W2 mailed copy to your updated address due to the fact that the 3rd party printer will have already finalized the mailing address for printing. The original mailed copy will eventually be returned back to Reliant but we have found this can take months before it is received at our office. Therefore, to ensure timely tax filing, please download an electronic copy to use for your tax filing.
The address used on your W2 form does not have to match the address used when you file your taxes. Therefore, the wrong address printed on your W2 will not hinder your ability to file your taxes. Please use your correct mailing address when filing your taxes so that the IRS can know where you are currently residing.
Reliant has turned on the function to allow your W2 to import directly into most tax softwares. However, employees are still responsible to download an electronic copy or keep their mailed paper copy of their W2 for their personal tax records. Please download it before the end of 2025 as the W2s are only available for download this calendar year. If you need a copy of your W-2 from any previous year of employment, Reliant does keep copies in cases of emergency. Please send an email request to payroll@reliant.org using your reliant.org email address. Please allow a minimum of 3-5 business days for requests to be processed.
Parsonage
Wages listed in Box 1 at the top of the W2 are for taxable wages. If you received parsonage this year, parsonage is not considered taxable wages. Parsonage totals are listed separately under Box 14.
Troubleshooting Issues with Greenshades
- There are some browsers that apparently do not want to cooperate with the Greenshades website. If you are having trouble with the website, try using Google Chrome as your browser.
- If you are seeing a blank W2 when it opens, try disabling pop-up blockers from your browser so that they now allow the W2 to open correctly.
If you have any issues with accessing your W2 or notice anything that is incorrect please notify payroll@reliant.org as soon as possible and we will look into it. Happy Tax Filing!
