Taxes

As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you are not considered an "employee" of the University of Minnesota. You are a "trainee." This means that although you have the OPTION of having income tax withheld from your fellowship payments, it will NOT be automatically withheld unless you make a specific request using this form Download Link (PDF).

For more information about your tax situation as a Postdoctoral Fellow, please see the HRSS External Link: will open in a new window site or contact Employee Benefits: 612-624-9090 or 800-756-2363; fax 612-626-0808; email benefits@umn.edu
