Taxes, Economic Impact Money, and Scams
Remember this year’s deadline for U.S. and Ohio taxes is July 15, 2020. International students and scholars are required by law to file US tax documents before the tax deadline. ISSS cannot advise on individual tax preparation, but you can find more detailed information about taxes on the ISSS website.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS: the U.S. tax agency that collects taxes and enforces tax laws) is also distributing payments to many people as part of US government response to the economic impact of the coronavirus. In most cases international students and scholars are not eligible for economic impact payments. If you mistakenly received a payment, read about the IRS process for returning a direct deposit or check.
Also, please be on guard against scams during this time. The IRS or other government agency will never call you and ask you to give money or information over the phone. Refusing to give information or send money over the phone will never cause you to lose your legal status in the United States.
If you ever receive a phone call, email, or request that makes you feel uneasy, collect as much information as possible (e.g. the number that the call is coming from, the person’s name who is making the request, etc.), hang up, and report the call or request to ISSS or the Miami University Police Department.
