Nonresident Aliens
This page is designed to help you, as a nonresident alien, understand your yearly tax responsibilities while being compensated by The Ohio State University.
Glacier
As a foreign national, you may already know how daunting understanding your tax obligations can be. That's why the university has provided you with a program called Glacier.
Glacier is a web-based computer program that provides a "beginning to end" tax compliance solution. Once the university determines that you are a nonresident alien, you will receive an email to your osu.edu email address directing you to the Glacier website (www.online-tax.net) with a password for entry. After asking a few simple questions, the Glacier program will guide you through the tax filing process. Glacier does the following:
- Makes tax residency, withholding and income tax treaty determinations
- Manages all paperwork
- Maintains data
- Provides you with next steps
- Files appropriate reporting statements with the IRS
If you are a nonresident alien and you have not received Glacier information, please contact the Tax Office at taxoffice@hr.osu.edu.
