The Kroger W2 Form is the official tax document Kroger issues to its employees. It shows your total earnings and the federal, state, and local taxes withheld during the year.

Current employees can get their Kroger W2 online or receive it by mail at the address on file. Former employees can also get their W2 — even after losing access to internal employee portals.

Below is an updated, step-by-step guide for both current and former Kroger employees, including key dates for the 2026 tax season.

Key Dates: When Will I Get My Kroger W2?

• 2025 tax year W2: Employers were required to furnish these by January 31, 2026.
• Kroger W2 Form 2027 (2026 tax year): Due by February 1, 2027 (January 31, 2027 falls on a Sunday). Look for it on MyTaxForm or in your mailbox in late January 2027.
• If your W2 hasn’t arrived by the end of February, the IRS recommends contacting your employer again and then calling the IRS.

Kroger W2 Former Employee: How to Get Your W2 After Leaving Kroger

If you no longer work at Kroger, you are still entitled to a W2 for every year you received wages. Use these options in order:

Option 1: Download Online from MyTaxForm (Equifax)

Kroger uses Equifax Workforce Solutions to deliver W2s electronically, and former employees can usually still use it:

1. Go to www.mytaxform.com.
2. Search for Kroger as your employer (or enter the employer code if you have it).
3. Sign in or select Register if you are a first-time user, then verify your identity.
4. Choose the tax year you need and download or print your W2.

Option 2: Use the Former Associate Portal

1. Go to myhistoricalinfo.kroger.com.
2. Enter your User ID and Password, then click “Sign In.”
3. Open the Tax Forms section and select the year you need.
4. Download your Kroger Former Employee W2 and print it if you need a paper copy.

Option 3: Request It from Your Former Store or HR/Payroll

• Contact your former store’s HR or the Kroger payroll department and ask for a copy.
• Have your full name, employee ID (if known), store/division, dates of employment, and the tax year ready.
• If you left during the year, you can ask for your W2 early. Under IRS rules, an employer must furnish it within 30 days of your request or of your final paycheck, whichever is later.

Tips for Former Employees

• Update your mailing address: Paper W2s go to the last address on file. If you’ve moved, update it with HR or payroll before January.
• Check prior years: MyTaxForm and the former associate portal typically keep several past tax years available.
• Wrong information? Ask Kroger payroll for a corrected Form W-2c.

Before you start, make sure you have:

• A mobile phone, tablet, or computer

3. Click “Login” to continue.
4. Select your location using the employer name or code.
5. Enter your MyTaxForm username when prompted, or select “Register Now” if you are a first-time user.
6. After signing in, open the W2 section and choose the tax year.
