Human Resources » Payroll Information Center » Tax Treaty

Employees who are from a foreign country and who will be at the University for a specified period of time only, may want to inquire from the IRS whether or not there is a tax treaty agreement between their country and the United States. If they are eligible for tax treaty status, they will be required to complete a Tax Treaty Exemption form at the beginning of each tax year. For this form to be accepted, they must provide either a Social Security number or proof that they have applied for a Social Security number.
