This is the last web update you will see from the International Students and Scholars Center regarding tax filing requirements . This update provides information about tax filing workshops that are hosted by the Tempe Community Council Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.
Please remember that the tax filing deadline is April 15, 2024.
The Tempe Community Council Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program has arranged for trained volunteers to assist ASU’s international students and scholars in preparing and filing their U.S. tax returns.
You are eligible to attend a VITA tax filing workshop if you are a current ASU student or scholar or were enrolled as a student during the 2023 tax year and any of the following apply to you:
- You earned income from ASU and hold an F-1 or J-1 visa (including staff, researchers, scholars, TAs, RAs and student workers) or are a scholarship or fellowship recipient.
- You earned income from on-campus employment through Aramark or the Sun Devil Follett Campus Stores.
If you did not earn any income from U.S. sources during the 2023 tax year and will be submitting only IRS Form 8843, you do not need to access Sprintax or attend a VITA tax workshop.
VITA volunteers will guide you through the preparation of your federal and state tax returns using Sprintax. All tax filing workshops will be held via Zoom.
