Income Tax Information

Filing federal income tax forms is the personal responsibility of each international student. Please be aware that each student is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of his/her income tax returns and any resulting penalties or interest. These income tax websites were identified or created by colleagues at other colleges and universities who have large international student enrollments. Most of the information is general and can be used by anyone at any school, however please note that some of the contact numbers and walk in hours only refer to the schools listed below.
