Federal Income Tax Filing (Non-Resident)

Collect Your Income Statements

Collect ALL your tax documents (called income statements; forms W‐2, 1042‐S, 1099) which are issued between January and March. WAIT until you have all the form(s) before you begin the process. Depending on your individual circumstance, you may have multiples of one type and/or more than one type of income statement.

If you do not receive these form(s) or have moved away, please contact payroll.taxforms@yale.edu with your name, Yale affiliation and last
4 digits of your SSN, and method you would like to receive your form(s) (ie, mail, fax, email).

Check that your name and SSN/ITIN are correct on these income statements. If they are incorrect, you will need to contact payroll.taxforms@yale.edu. (Note: numbers beginning with "9" are not valid government-issued tax ID numbers; do not use a number beginning with "9" when you file.)

Do I need an ITIN?

You will only need an ITIN (Individual Tax Identification Number) if:

• you do not have a Social Security Number, AND
• you received U.S.-based income in 2012 (including scholarship/fellowship income above tuition)

If you require an ITIN, GLACIER Tax Prep will generate the application (W-7) after you complete the process. Schedule an appointment at OISS and bring photocopies and originals of the following documents:

• your passport (copy photo page only)
• current visa stamp
• I-94 card
• immigration document (I-20 or DS-2019)

Additional materials required for your ITIN request will be issued during your appointment. Please note, if GLACIER generates only Form 8843, you do not require an ITIN.

Print, Sign, and Mail

GLACIER Tax Prep will populate the appropriate federal income tax forms for you. You will still need to print them out, sign and date the forms, attach the appropriate copies of your income statements (W‐2, 1042‐S, 1099), and follow the instructions given about mailing them to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

If you owe money, make your check payable to: United States Treasury

Keep Copies!

Remember to keep copies of what you file each year (in case your return gets reviewed and there is a problem or if the IRS audits you in the future). You can save the PDFs to your computer or print an extra copy - do not rely on GLACIER Tax Prep to store copies of your tax returns, as you may not be able to access them in the future.
