TAX TIME!

It is very important to read and follow this!!!!!
All International Students on the F-1 Student Status must file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) each and every year by April 15^th--even if the student is not working and owes nothing to our government. The process is fairly simple. The forms and instructions are listed below for your download. If the student is single and not married the "1040 NR-EZ" in most cases is the form to use. If the student is married then the "1040NR" is the form to use. If you have any questions, there are various links you may go to for assistance or instructions.  
With the new immigration laws, it is of great importance for all F-1 students to follow this regulation of filing with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) every year by April 15th. Tax season each year is from January 31st to April 15th. All papers must be filed by the April 15th deadline.
