GetPDF

GetPDF

This endpoint can be used to generate the PDF copies of the completed Form W-2. You can request the PDFs using any of the following:

  • SubmissionId only – To generate PDFs for all records under the submission.
  • SubmissionId with RecordIds – To generate PDFs for specific recipient records.

How it works

  1. Once the request is processed successfully, a webhook will be triggered containing the download link(s).
  2. A separate ZIP file will be generated for each record. Each ZIP file will include copies of the recipient’s form.
  3. The files are not encrypted and can be downloaded directly. For security, the download link will expire in 24 hours after Webhook delivery.
  4. You can also choose the TIN masking option, allowing the recipient’s TIN to be either masked or unmasked based on your preference.
