E
MPLOYEE/RETIREE NAME:_________________________ CHILD/SPOUSE NAME:______________________
This affidavit must be completed by all employees and retirees requesting TUITION REMISSION (TR) to determine
whether the Institution must treat the requested TR as taxable income to the employee or retiree under the Internal
Revenue Code. In most cases, TR is not taxable for undergraduate courses taken by an employee, retiree, spouse or
child who qualifies as the employee’s dependent under federal tax law standards. In addition, specific IRS rules govern
the taxability of TR for graduate education and children of divorced and separated parents. Those rules are summarized
on a Tax Chart on the USM’s Website at:
http://www.usmd.edu/usm/adminfinance/tuitiontax.pdf.
This affidavit is necessary to comply with federal tax law and to protect you and the USM Institution from potential
tax liabilities and penalties. To complete the affidavit, read the statements below and follow the instructions
.
1. UNDERGRADUATE TUITION REMISSION FOR A SPOUSE - If you are seeking TR for your spouse, initial
statement below:
____ I certify that the person for whom I am requesting TR: (a) is my spouse and that we have entered a legally
effective marriage, and (b) that we are not estranged, and that he/she does not maintain a separate domicile.

that I intend to claim the child as my dependent on my federal income tax return for the 20
___ calendar year. If I
do not claim my child as a dependent on my income tax return for the 20
___ calendar year as indicated above, I
will notify my HR Office as soon as possible and no later than 15 days of filing my tax return, and I understand
that the value of my child’s TR will be considered taxable income to me.
b. If you are seeking undergraduate TR for a child whom you will NOT claim as a dependent on your federal
income tax return for the year 20___, initial ONE applicable statement:
____ (i) Although I do not intend to declare my biological child or legally adopted child as a dependent on my federal
income tax return for the 20
___ calendar year, (a) I am currently divorced or separated from the child’s other
parent, (b) the child’s other parent will claim the child as a dependent on his/her federal income tax return for the
20_
__ calendar year, and (c) my marriage to the other parent is or was recognized under federal law. If the child’s
other parent does not claim my child as a dependent for this tax year, I will notify my HR Office as soon as
possible and no later than 15 days of the filing of the tax return of the child’s other parent, and I understand that
the value of my child’s TR will be considered taxable income to me.
____ (ii) Although I do not intend to declare my stepchild as a dependent on my federal income tax return for the 20___

remission, is recognized under federal law. If neither my spouse nor my stepchild’s other legal parent claims my

___ calendar year, I will notify my HR Office as soon as possible and no later
than 15 days after both my spouse and my stepchild’s other legal parent have filed their 20
___ calendar year tax
returns, and I understand that the value of my stepchild’s TR will be considered taxable income to me.
____ (iii) I certify that the person for whom I am requesting TR (a) is my biological child, stepchild or legally adopted
