Nonresident Alien Compliance

Background

In order to comply with United States income tax laws, the University must determine the tax residency and immigration status of nonresident aliens. The University uses Sprintax Calculus to determine the U.S. residency status for tax purposes based on the information provided by the nonresident alien. All nonresident alien faculty, staff, and students are required to use Sprintax Calculus if they receive any payment from the University. 

What is Sprintax Calculus? 

Effective October 21, 2024, Loyola University Chicago launched Sprintax Calculus as the tax determination software for international payees (non-U.S. individuals and entities). This software replaces the University’s prior tax compliance software of GLACIER Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance System, which has been discontinued. 

Sprintax Calculus is an online tax determination software for international payees of Loyola. It is a secure, web-based system that will classify international individuals and entities for U.S. tax purposes, determine income tax treaty eligibility, the appropriate tax withholding status for income taxes and FICA, and generate any required tax forms.
