To answer this question, you first need to determine if you are being paid via Payroll or Accounts Payable.

• If the majority of your work is performed on campus with immediate work direction from a Mac employee you should be paid by Payroll.
  • If you are paid through Payroll, income taxes are withheld from your payments and you will receive a W-2 in January.
• If the majority of your work is performed off campus and with immediate work direction from a non-Mac employee you should be paid by AP.
  • If you are paid from Accounts Payable, income taxes are not withheld from your payments and you will receive a 1099 tax form in January.

You can also get confirmation by checking with Student Employment.

The 1098 tax form is used to help figure education credits for qualified tuition and related expenses paid during the past year.  This tax form is created and distributed by Student Accounts and can be located via 1600grand on the Money Matters Channel.

The IRS states that any individuals enrolled in at least 6 college credits (half time status) is exempt from paying Social Security and Medicare taxes on wages earned.  So as long as you are enrolled with 6 college credits, your wages are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes.  During the summer, there are no college courses to be enrolled in, so your wages become subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes.
