Tax help available

for international students
Assistance is available for international students who need help filing federal and state nonresident tax returns before the April 15 deadline.
The sessions are designed for students who have completed their tax forms and would like to have them checked or who have minor questions.
The Office of International Programs, which has already held two tax workshops for international students this year, will sponsor four free drop-in tax help sessions before the filing deadline.
According to Ginny Stark, an associate director in the Office of International Programs, “Many international students are not aware they may have a tax filing obligation in the U.S. and in the state of Oregon.”
Drop in sessions will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. today in the EMU Alsea and Coquille rooms, from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday in the EMU Rogue Room and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday in the EMU Umpqua Room. A final session will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. April 15 in the EMU Alsea and Coquille rooms.
