It's Tax Time Again! Does Emory Have Your Current Local Address?

If you were employed by Emory University between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005, you will receive a Form W-2. The form reports your salary and the amount already deducted for taxes for 2005. The Form W-2 will be sent from the Payroll Office around the end of January unless you signed up to receive it on line. If did not sign up to receive your W-2 on line, please insure that your current local address is on file in Human Resources so that your W-2 is sent to the correct address.

Additionally, if all or part of your salary is exempt from taxes because of a tax treaty benefit or if you receive a scholarship, fellowship, stipend, or other non-work financial assistance from Emory, you will also receive a Form 1042S. The Form 1042S will be mailed to you. If you are a student, in addition to updating your address in the Human Resources database, you should also insure that your current local address is correct in OPUS.

If you had US interest/dividend income, you should receive Form 1099 from the financial institution or payer of the interest or dividend income. Please insure that the financial institution has your current local address.

If you have a tax treaty benefit and also receive non-work financial assistance from Emory, please DO NOT file your tax return until you have received both the W-2 and 1042S. If you had interest or dividend income, you should also wait for Form 1099.

The tax regulations have changed. Some students who were required to file a tax return in the past may be exempt from filing under the new regulations. Look for more information in upcoming editions of AC'CENT about who must file a tax return and opportunities for assistance in filing. For now, just make sure that your local address is correct in all applicable places and that you receive all tax documents that you need to file your tax return.
