TAX INFORMATION

ballroom dancingIf you were employed in 2007, you may have already received a copy of your W-2 form from your employing department/employer. The W-2 form contains information used in filing your tax returns. If you were not employed in 2007, you will still need to file a tax return.

The International Center is pleased to announce that, for the third year, the IC has purchased CINTAX - a Non-Resident Alien Tax Preparation software from Arctic International. CINTAX is a software program that is web-based and has step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions that will walk you through preparation of the tax forms you need to file for your particular tax situation. The instructions and access code for CINTAX are now available and can be found in the IC organization site in Blackboard (under Information) and in your fsu email sent on February 1 from the ic- immigration listserv.

We will also have a tax workshop on Friday, February 22 from 3 to 5 pm at HCB 103. It will be facilitated by Alison Riley and Jackie Keller.

Note that our website has a wealth of information and links to resources. It includes information on general tax questions, what documents you need, as well as information on CINTAX. http://ic.fsu.edu/currentstudents/taxes.cfm
