Payroll and Tax Issues
If you are paid by Carnegie Mellon University (either a stipend or a salary), the Payroll Office must have a correct address for your final pay check as well as for important tax documents which will be mailed in January of each year (i.e. in January 2006 for the year 2005.) Local, state and federal tax forms are due in mid-April of each year for the preceding year (i.e. on April 15, 2006 for taxes in 2005.) You may visit the OIE website in February or March for relevant information. You may download federal tax forms from the web site of the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at www.irs.gov. It is important to note that it remains your legal obligation to file tax forms, even if you have returned to your home (or other) country at the time that tax forms are due.
