Good morning, all,
The ESE has received feedback from the central UW Accounts Payable team regarding the “request category” used when setting up a misc. payee’s profile for a UW student.
Previously, when you were submitting a Misc. Payment for a student that purchased goods on behalf of the UW, the “request category” selected needed to be “refund” to disable 1099 reporting for Misc Payee type – Student.
Now, Accounts Payable states that we need to use the “request category” – “Reimbursement” in these cases to disable 1099 reporting. Please take note of this and adjust your documentation accordingly.
This does not apply to non-employee travel for students. Please continue to use the “request category” – “non-employee travel”.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you,
Megan DeVeau
