The list of dates and times for the one-on-one tax question and answer sessions are:
- Saturday, March 22, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
There will not be many student advisers available this day so please understand if there are long lines, there may be long waits. Students should plan to come back later in the day if too many people are there at 9 a.m.
- Saturday, April 5, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
There should be more advisers than on March 22. If needed, there will be a third session on Saturday, April 12. We will announce that session and any other additions when we know for sure.
The sessions will be held in the new School of Business building at 301 W. Main St., Room 2165. You do not need to reserve a seat and will be assisted on a first-come first-serve basis. Be prepared to wait if necessary.
Also, to ensure a quick, smooth process, please have your forms with you, including any W-2s or additional tax forms. Also, complete as much of the general information on the tax forms (using a pencil) as possible. This includes your name, social security numbers etc… When you come to something you don’t understand, take a note of it. Have specific questions ready when you arrive.
Remember, tax forms are only required from those non-immigrants who were in the United States at any point during the year 2007. If you are a new student, scholar or employee who arrived in the U.S. after Jan.1, 2008, you do not need to do this.
If you need to file 2007 Federal taxes, you need to file state taxes too.
All non-immigrants who were in the U.S. during the year 2007 at all must complete the 8843 form. You must do this regardless of whether you earned money or not. Therefore, if you did not earn money, you must complete the 8843. If you did earn money, you must complete a version of the 1040 form and the 8843. You can find the fill-in form at this link: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8843.pdf
If you were in the U.S. during the year 2007 and you earned any money for which you have received a W-2 form, you must complete a 1040NR form. There are several types of 1040NR forms.
If you have dependents in the U.S., you will need to complete the 1040NR. Here’s a link to the form online: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040nr.pdf
Here’s a link to directions: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040nr.pdf
If you do not have dependents in the U.S., you can complete the 1040 NR-EZ. You can find the form at this link: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040nre.pdf
