Immigration & Tax Assessment Process

At SJSU, our Immigration & Nonresident Alien Tax Specialist is charged with determining an employee's residence status for U.S. federal tax purposes.

The assessment process is initiated in a number of ways, including:

• Information provided by the employee on Employment Eligibility Verification form I-9 (pdf)
• Knowledge that the recipient of a payment is either a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident

These individuals are asked to read and complete two documents:

• Nonresident Alien Tax Assessment General Contact Information form (pdf)
• Windstar Foreign National Information System

These documents inform you of your initial tax liability and the process for final assessment.
