What is the procedure for paying nonresident alien consultants and guest speakers?
In order for the University to make a correct determination about tax withholding, all consultants/guest speakers who are nonresident aliens must complete the Alien Information Collection Form and the form called "U.S. Tax Information for Nonresident Alien Consultants". The payee must have either a social security card or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). To apply for ITIN, the individual must complete and submit Form W-7 in person to the International Tax Specialist. The required documents are a passport, visa, I-94 or I-94W and information on prior visits. If the consultant/guest speaker is from a treaty country, he/she must complete Form 8233 to claim treaty benefit. A 30 percent withholding tax will be deducted from compensation payments made to consultants/guest speakers who are from countries that do not have a tax treaty with the U.S. or who do not complete Form 8233 in a timely manner. If form 8233 is submitted after the University has deducted tax from a payment, the University cannot refund the tax. The individual must file a U.S. income tax return at year-end to apply for a refund from the IRS.
