Help us get your tax documents to you in a timely manner: It is that time of the year where we in the Finance Department are starting to prepare for tax season. InaneforttohavecurrentinformationforW2sand1099s,weare asking everyone who has moved in the last calendar year to update their address. How to update: If you are a Tribal member, contact Member Services at memberser- vices@grandronde.org or 503-879-2116. If you are an employee, contact Human Resources at compensa- tion_HRIS@grandronde.org or 503-879-2109 and the reception desk will direct your call to the appropriate person. Alternatively, an employee can make any updates in the timesheet module as well. If you have recently updated your address at the clinic/pharmacy, you will still need to update your information with either Member Services and/or Human Resources. The clinic/pharmacy does not share your private information due to HIPAA regulations. Remember that even if you have direct deposit you will need to update your address, as W2s and 1099s are mailed. The Finance Department thanks you in advance for your assistance in making the upcoming tax season go as smoothly as possible. The deadline for updating addresses is Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023. We cannot guarantee changes after this date. Both W2 and 1099MISC forms will be mailed before the Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024 deadline. þ To stay informed of future Tribal events, visit www.smokesignals.org/calendar.
