If you are a former Lowe’s associate and need a copy of your W-2, you generally have two online access routes, depending on how long it has been since you left the company. Former associates retain limited Workday access for 13 months after separation; after that period, W-2 forms can be obtained through Tax Form Management at MyTaxForm.com using Lowe’s employer code 11116. This guide explains how to access a Lowe’s former employee W-2 online, how to sign in to Workday after leaving Lowe’s, how to retrieve older tax documents through MyTaxForm, and what to do if you cannot authenticate your account.
About Lowe’s
Lowe’s has grown from a small-town North Carolina hardware store into one of the world’s largest home-improvement retailers, serving homeowners, renters, and professional customers.
Today, Lowe’s reports approximately 300,000 associates in the United States, more than 1,750 home-improvement stores, and $86.3 billion in 2025 sales.
For former associates, Lowe’s provides temporary access to its Workday system so that important employment information does not disappear the moment the employment relationship ends.
How Long Can Former Lowe’s Associates Access Workday?
After leaving Lowe’s, a former associate ordinarily retains limited Workday access for 13 months after the last day of employment. This temporary access allows you to review important personal and payroll information, including available payslips and tax documents.
When your employment ends, Lowe’s sends two automated emails to the personal email address recorded in Workday. These messages contain your temporary username, password information, and former-associate login instructions.
If the emails appear to have vanished into thin air, search your inbox, spam folder, and deleted items for: lowes@myworkday.com
Do not attempt to sign in with your former Lowe’s single sign-on credentials. Former associates must use the temporary Workday username and password supplied after separation.
How to Access a Lowe’s W-2 Through Workday
Step 1: Open the Lowe’s Workday portal
On a trusted personal device, visit the official Lowe’s Workday sign-in page:
https://wd5.myworkday.com/wday/authgwy/lowes/login.html
The sign-in page presents three options:
- Lowe’s
- Former Associate/On Leave
- Lowe’s New Hire
Select Former Associate/On Leave.
Step 2: Enter your temporary Workday credentials
Sign in with the Workday username and password sent to your personal email when you left Lowe’s. These are separate from the credentials you used as an active associate.
If you cannot locate the emails or your credentials no longer work, contact the Lowe’s Associate Care Center rather than repeatedly attempting to sign in, as numerous failed attempts may lock the account.
Step 3: Open Pay Hub
After signing in:
- Select Pay Hub from the Your Top Apps section.
- If Pay Hub is not displayed, open the Menu in the upper-left corner.
- Choose Pay Hub from the complete list of applications.
Depending on the Workday layout displayed on your device, the relevant application may simply be labelled Pay.
Step 4: Select My Tax Documents
Within Pay Hub or the Pay application:
- Locate the View section.
- Select More or View All if additional options are hidden.
- Choose My Tax Documents.
The page displays the tax forms available to your account, which may include Forms W-2 and W-2C.
Step 5: View, download, or print the W-2
Find the applicable tax year and form, then select View/Print. Workday will generate a printable copy that you can open, save securely, or print.
If a W-2C, or Corrected Wage and Tax Statement, is listed, download every form displaying a View/Print option. A W-2C supplements or corrects the original W-2 and should be retained alongside it.
Once you have finished, sign out of Workday—particularly when using a shared computer—to protect your payroll information and Social Security number.
How to Access a Lowe’s W-2 in the Workday Mobile App
Former associates who still have valid temporary access may also use the Workday mobile application.
- Download the official Workday app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Open the app and select Log In.
- Enter lowes when prompted for the organization ID.
- Choose the former-associate sign-in option.
- Enter your temporary Workday username and password.
- Open the Pay application.
- Select View All if the complete menu is not visible.
- Under View, choose My Tax Documents.
- Locate the required tax year and select View/Print.
For printing and long-term storage, the desktop version is often more convenient because downloaded documents are easier to locate and save.
How to Get a Lowe’s W-2 Through MyTaxForm.com
The Tax Form Management website is the principal alternative when your temporary Workday access has expired, or the required W-2 is not available there.
Step 1: Visit MyTaxForm.com
Go to www.mytaxform.com and enter the Lowe’s employer code: 11116
Confirm that the employer information displayed belongs to Lowe’s before proceeding.
Step 2: Sign in or register
If you have previously used the service, enter your established user ID and password.
If you have never registered—or have forgotten your login details—select Register Now and follow the account-recovery or registration process.
Step 3: Verify your identity
The system will ask you to enter or confirm personal information. Identity verification relies on the most recent details recorded in Workday, such as your:
- Home address
- Telephone number
- Personal email address
- Other identifying information
The information you submit must correspond with the details Lowe’s had on file. Even a minor discrepancy can bring the verification process to a grinding halt.
Former associates with active Workday access can review their recorded information by selecting: Your Top Apps → Personal Information
If you update personal information in Workday, allow approximately 24 to 48 hours for the changes to reach the Tax Form Management system.
Step 4: Download or print the W-2
Once signed in, locate the appropriate tax year and open the available W-2. Download the document before printing it. If the print command fails, try opening the downloaded file in a different browser or PDF reader.
When Will the 2026 Lowe’s W-2 Be Available?
A W-2 reports taxable income paid during the relevant calendar year. For the 2026 tax year, former associates should expect online access in early 2027, subject to Lowe’s annual delivery schedule and any electronic-delivery election.
Former associates who did not receive a mailed copy should be able to access the 2026 W-2 online through the tax-form portal beginning February 1, 2027. Availability dates and delivery rules can change, so check the portal for the status of the specific tax year you need.

Final Checklist

14. Why does my Lowe’s W-2 show only the last four digits of my Social Security number?
Lowe’s masks most of the Social Security number on the employee’s copy as an identity-protection measure. The full Social Security number is still reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
15. Why does my Lowe’s W-2 amount differ from my final pay stub?
A final pay stub generally shows gross year-to-date earnings, while Form W-2 reports taxable wages after eligible pre-tax deductions. Health-plan premiums, retirement contributions, and other pre-tax benefits can therefore cause the two amounts to differ.
