Tax Return Guide
Each year, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that all workers file a tax return which is due on April 15 of the following year. As a nonresident alien, you are also required to file a tax return, which is sometimes called called Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ. As an employee of The Ohio State University, you will complete your tax return through the Glacier web site.
Form 1042-S
In order to complete your tax return, you will need some basic information about your employer, as well as detailed information about how your income over the past year. As a nonresident alien, you will receive this information through Form 1042-S; U.S. citizens receive this information through Form W-2.
Ohio State is required to furnish your yearly 1042-S by March 15 of the following year. You may elect to receive your 1042-S online through Glacier. Otherwise, you will receive a copy of Form 1042-S by U.S. Mail.
Some nonresident aliens may receive both a W-2 and a 1042-S. If this applies to you, then you may refer to W2 Online for instructions on how you can access your W-2 through the ePayroll system.
