Office of Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance
As the world grows smaller and technology, research and ideas are shared daily through international and cultural interaction, the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) desires to promote and encourage an environment that gives limitless consideration to all who will support the mission of MCG. Procuring such research and ideas exposes MCG to numerous tax liability situations. As a result, international tax reporting and withholding is almost certainly unique to a case-by-case basis.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the U.S. government tax authority, has issued strict regulations regarding the taxation and reporting of payments made to Non U.S. citizens. As a result, MCG may be required to withhold U.S. income tax and file reports with the IRS in connection with any payments made to its Non U.S. Citizen employees, students, independent contractors and foreign nationals.
The Office of Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance exists to serve the Non U.S. Citizen employees, students, independent contractors and foreign nationals of the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) community. MCG utilizes "GLACIER Online Tax Compliance System developed by Arctic International LLC" and IRS publications to ensure that both tax reporting and withholding are in constant compliance with the Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service Code. The Tax Specialist is Rebecca Johnston and in coordination with campus departments, strives to assist each Non U.S. Citizen of the MCG community with timely results and superb customer service.
Although each individual's tax and immigration status is unique, the information, links and forms found on this site may provide helpful and useful information. If you wish to discuss your tax situation or submit documents for review, please see Rebecca Johnston contact information listed to the left.
