It is very important for international students and scholars to understand their U.S. tax responsibilities. For detailed tax information, responsibilities, and deadlines, please see the IRS website, especially the section entitled “Taxation of Nonresident Aliens.” OIS staff are not trained in U.S. tax law or the rules of taxation relating to international individuals and the University does not advise on personal tax matters.
