1042-S Form

Non-resident alien taxpayers who have either tax treaty-exempt income, non-qualified scholarship payments and/or taxable non-wage compensation will receive a 1042-S Form to report their earnings to the IRS.

The Form 1042-S will be sent electronically in the Sprintax Calculus portal. If you did not give permission in Sprintax Calculus to receive your 1042-S electronically, then CU will mail your Form 1042-S to the address you have on file.

Forms must be sent to filers no later than March 15 every year. Employee Services strives to send forms well in advance of this IRS deadline to give employees and students more time to file.

If you do not receive this form by March 1, please submit a 1042-S Reissue Request Form to Employee Services. 

The University of Colorado will provide a seperate1042-S form for each 1042-S reportable payment issued in a given tax year. 

In many cases, an employee will receive both a Form W-2 and a Form(s) 1042-S in a given tax year.  

Please wait to file your annual income tax returns until you have received all relevant tax reporting forms for the tax year.  

Filing without all of the required documentation could result in your need to make corrections by filing an amended tax return.

Please contact an international tax specialist at intltax@cu.edu.
