Federal Tax Event for International Students (Text for March 26)

Start early on your taxes (file by 4/15/13)!

There will be free tax workshops in late March to help you understand the process of filing tax forms. You have to register for these workshops.

Summary: A professional from CINTAX (the recommended software to prepare taxes for international students) has been invited to help give an overview and explain the tax filing process for international students. To be very clear, since there are too many international students with different tax situations, this WILL NOT be a question and answer session. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Since the session is in Spring Break, it will be recorded and shown at a later date as indicated below.
