Note: Chapman University follows Internal Revenue Service guidelines with regards to the payment of nonresident aliens. A nonresident for tax purposes is a person who is not a US citizen and who does not pass either the "Green Card" test or the Substantial Presence test. Payments can only be made to nonresident aliens who have been granted the appropriate employment authorization and visa status. In order to simplify the process of determining residency status, Chapman University uses software (GLACIER). Prior to making any payments to an international person, they are required to complete a simple questionnaire from the GLACIER software. Please contact your Administrative Assistant for more information regarding your guest completing a Glacier form. Payments to Nonresident Aliens may be subject to Federal and State income tax withholding.
