Taxes
As an international student or visitor, taxes are required yearly. We offer resources, including workshops, to help you prepare and file this paperwork.
International students, staff, and faculty who have arrived before the start of Spring semesters are required to file federal taxes every year, even if they have not worked in the U.S.
