Regardless of whether or not income is earned in the U.S., F-1 and J-1 students and J-1 scholars must file a tax form each year by April 15. OIP arranges for a tax specialist to assist with tax forms for F-1 and J-1 students only. J-1 scholars who need assistance with their tax forms should contact a private tax accountant in the community.

F-1 and J-1 students will have the opportunity to make a tax appointment at OIP in February or March. Students should check the OIP folder on FirstClass for announcements about tax appointment scheduling.
