Tax Workshops
For the majority of international students, April 18th is NOT your deadline to file your taxes! You only need to file your taxes by April 18th if you think you will have to pay taxes to the US government. The most common example of this would be if you were employed and your employer did not take out federal income taxes from your paycheck.
For the majority of students, you have more time to file your taxes and we are offering 5 more Tax Workshops this semester! If this is your first semester on an F1 visa at UCA, you do not have to file your taxes! If you have questions about your specific situations, please contact Ashley Pettingill at apettingill@uca.edu.
You do not need an appointment to attend the workshops but we encourage you to register using this link: https://forms.gle/cGq74UVmVRtiJZmYA
