Get a head start on filing 2022 taxes
|
Though the deadline for filing 2022 taxes is in April 2023, it's common that international students have many questions about U.S. taxes. So, we wanted to make sure to share Sprintax's series of webinars related to who must file, tax residency, FICA, State returns, implications of misfiling as well as how to use Sprintax to prepare a compliant tax return. There are also sessions about CPT/OPT tax implications.

Winter 2022-2023 Reminders
