Foreign National Employees - Tax Compliance

For Internal Revenue Service (IRS: US government agency responsible for tax collection and tax law enforcement) tax purposes and proper tax withholding, ALL FOREIGN NATIONAL EMPLOYEES (part-time and full-time) must register with the ASU Tax Compliance Staff.

Individuals will need to meet with the tax staff if he/she checked any of the following boxes on Form 1-9 in the "I attest, under penalty of perjury, that I am (check one of the following)" section:

  • A lawful permanent resident (Alien#)
  • An alien authorized to work (Alien# or Admission#)

Lawful Permanent Residents

For LPR, the tax office will need to make a copy of the employee's green card.

Visa Holders

For visa holders, the tax office will need to review the resident/non-resident alien's tax compliance for the correct federal withholding tax rate.

Failure to do so will result in the maximum federal tax withholdings from your paycheck. THERE IS NO FEDERAL TAX WITHHELD REFUND. All individuals must go through the paper tax withholding process with the tax office as early as possible to avoid excess tax withholding.

Please contact Catherine Wang at 870-680-8255 to register for tax compliance.
