Tax Information
Students with F-1 or J-1 visas who arrived in the United States before January 1, 2006 are required to file a Tax Return even if you have earned no income.

If you have received taxable income (for example, from on-campus employment), you will receive a W-2 form from the Business Office by January 31, 2006. You will need to complete a tax return even if you are exempt from paying taxes.
