A nonresident alien employed by the University of Mississippi may have part or all of his wages exempt from federal withholding tax based on the tax treaty between the employee’s home country and the United States. We use IRS Publication 901 for interpretation of U.S. tax treaties.
To be considered for exemption due to a U.S. tax treaty employees must complete and submit BOTH forms below each calendar year. Please note the exemption will only be on earnings paid after the exemption is granted. There is a ten working day window for the IRS to review the request once it is received from the University.
- IRS Form 8233 and
- University of Mississippi United States Income Tax Treaty Exemption Affidavit
After these forms are submitted, a determination of eligibility will be made. If you are not eligible to claim such an exemption, you will be notified by Payroll, and tax withholding will begin immediately.
In Workday, pay stubs are called “payslips.” Payslips appear one day before the payment date. In the search bar, enter “payslip” or “My Payslip.” You can also find your payslip by navigating to your “View Profile,” selecting “Pay” from the menu on the left, and selecting the “Payslip” tab.
