Payments to Foreign Nationals

Depending on the payment, you will need to complete the following steps:

  1. Complete documentation requirements stated below and submit it to University Tax Services (UTS), PO Box 113203.
     
  2. After UTS has processed the paperwork, we will provide the department with the respective IRS Forms,
     
    1. Have the foreign national sign the IRS Forms,
    2. Also provided will be a PeopleSoft Tax Withholding Information Form (PTWIF). This is commonly called the "Windstar Coversheet". This form will indicate the appropriate department to send the IRS Forms.
       
  3. After the PTWIF is received and the IRS Forms have been signed, then the hiring department should enter the foreign national into ePAF,
     
    1. The PTWIF will serve as guidance for entering the payment/hire into ePAF.
