Payroll Department - Tax Treaties
A non resident alien working for 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 US tax treaties (you can down load it from the IRS web site: http.://www.irs.gov).

To be considered for exemption due to a U.S. tax treaty you will need to complete and submit the below forms 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 (we have blank forms in the payroll office)
AND
**University of Mississippi Payroll Department United States Income Tax Exemption Treaty Affidavit.

When these forms are submitted a determination of eligibility will be made. If you are denied exemption the Payroll Department will send the employee a letter stating this and tax withholding will begin immediately.

If allowed an exemption, the employee's wages will be monitored by the Payroll Department. When the employee's wages exceeds the amount of the exemption, the Payroll Department will send the employee a letter stating the fact and tax withholding will begin immediately.
