Attention!!! This is the Last Week to Report Taxes for 2015

 
This is the last week for reporting the taxes for 2015! It is your responsibility to report the taxes. We are organizing additional the last workshop for filing the taxes. 
 

You must purchase the tax passcode only if you earned any sort of income in the year 2015. If you have not earned any income, then you need to file another tax form which is 8843. Please find it in the link: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8843.pdf

Step procedures for the people who had income in the year 2015.

1.      Please visit the web link: http://bit.ly/ucie-tax-glacier  (The deadline for purchasing the passcode is this Friday April 15 at 4 P.M.)

2.      Then you need to purchase the passcode for $5

3.      Next you will wait for the passcode and after you receive the passcode, email us with the date you want to attend the workshop

4.      We will send a confirmation email about the workshop which will have all the documents that you need to bring for the workshop.

Please be aware that these are last few workshops for international students to attend for their federal tax filling! And each student/scholar is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of his/her income tax returns, and any resulting penalties or interest.
