Employees who are non-U.S. citizens performing work in their home countries

  1. Employee completes sections I. and III. of the Alien Certificate located at http://www.finance.umich.edu/finops/payroll/forms/aliencertificate.  This form will be used to notify the Payroll Office that this is a non-U.S. citizen performing services outside the U.S.  As a result, there are no tax withholding or reporting requirements for these payments.
  2. Unit rep completes the Wire Transfer Request Form located at  http://www.finance.umich.edu/finops/payroll/forms/wiretransfer.  This information will be used to wire the payments to the individual's foreign financial institution.
  3. Email completed forms to tax.payroll@umich.edu.  It is recommended to send the forms as a password protected file to keep personal information safeguarded.  Another alternative is to fax the forms to 734-647-3983.
  4. Once the employee returns to campus, either the employee or unit rep should notify the Payroll Office by sending an email to tax.payroll@umich.edu, so we can ensure payments are being taxed appropriately.
