Prepare for your appointment by taking a look at theÌıfrequently asked questions below. Appointments on the Boulder campus will be held at the Administrative and Research Center (ARCE) on East Campus.
Why am I required have an international tax appointment?
To comply with federal tax regulations, the university requires that international employees meet with an international tax specialist to determine and document their U.S. tax status.
What is the purpose of the appointment?
During your appointment, we will explain the U.S. payroll tax rules that apply to you and help you complete related tax forms. You should leave the appointment with a good understanding of your U.S. tax residency status and personal responsibilities as a U.S. taxpayer.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring your passport, I-94 and immigration document (I-20, DS-2019, H1B approval, etc.) to your scheduled appointment. Be ready to discuss your entire history of presence in the United States, including previous visits in different immigration statuses. A Social Security number is helpful but not required for your new employee appointment.
When should I schedule my appointment?
It’s best to schedule an appointment as soon as you are hired at CU and ideally before you receive your first paycheck. However, these appointments fill fast, so there may be a wait during busy times of the semester.ÌıEmployee Services can retroactively adjust your pay to correct withholding errors that may result from a delayed appointment.
If you begin working in the fall, please ensureÌıyou’ve completed your appointment before the end of the calendar year to avoid complicating your personal tax filing process.
