Since you may be eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty between your home country and the US, you will want to complete GLACIER. The benefits of many tax treaties allow you to be exempt from federal tax on your payments from OSU. Note: The mere existence of a tax treaty between the US and your home country does not guarantee that you are eligible to receive this benefit. You must qualify for the tax treaty before you can receive any benefit of a tax treaty. Note: A tax treaty between the US and your country of residence only applies to federal tax, it does not apply to state – (however, the State of Ohio currently honors the tax treaties), city tax or Medicare tax – so even if you qualify for the benefit of a tax treaty with your home country there will still be other tax deductions from your paycheck.
