Taxes
[All information is subject to change without notice.]
Hello Students,
It is U.S. tax time again, and all people with F or J status MUST file forms to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), even if you did not earn any income. Below is information that will be helpful to you as you file your 2007 tax return.
If you would like an overview of the U.S. tax system and basic tax information, see the tax brochure.
We highly recommend that you use the interactive UT Austin tax website for help in preparing your US tax return. Developed specially to assist non-residents with completing their taxes, this website provides you with the following:
- step by step instructions that enable you to complete your taxes accurately and completely on your own.
- downloadable tax forms that you will need to complete the tax process. (You will need the following school-specific address for Form 8843, questions #9 and #10: The University of Texas at Dallas, Cristen Casey, ISSO MC36, 800 W. Campbell Rd., Richardson, TX 75080-3021, 972-883-4189.)
- examples of completed tax forms so you can be sure that your forms have been completed correctly.
If you need further assistance outside of what the UT Austin tax website provides, you can contact the IRS directly or a tax professional company.
We encourage you to use the above resources to file your taxes. You may also attend a Tax Workshop on Friday, March 7th from 2:00-4:00pm in SOM 1.118. At the workshop, we will go over the UT Austin website information above. To confirm your attendance at the workshop, please send an e-mail to ISSOPrograms@utdallas.edu. Please note, there will not be information at the ISSO Tax Workshop on tax filing for any students that are in a category other than F or J non-immigrant status.
