Tax Form 8843 Online Wizard
Tax season has started which means it’s time for international
students in the US to file their tax returns and complete the
required IRS Form 8843. To simplify the process, we have updated
our Tax
Form 8843 Online Wizard for the current year. The Wizard can
help students complete the form in minutes; they only need to
answer the questions and the Wizard will populate their
information into the IRS Form 8843. Once printed, students can
then sign and mail the form to the IRS before the April 15th
deadline. Wizard data is always discarded which means it’s free,
simple, and safe.
Please feel free to refer any students who need help with Form
8843 or other tax return items to our tax section.

School the World - Guatemala
Next month the EIC team will be on the road to the villages of
Central America. This is the third year in a row we have
partnered with School the World (STW) and we are thrilled to be
a part of their mission to empower communities through the gift
of education. This non-profit organization is committed to
providing training to teachers, supplies to students and support
to their parents, but the commitment does not end there. School
the World works with the community for five years, with a
decreasing amount of responsibility as time progresses, ensuring
that the community is hands-on in their own future.
The journey for the Envisage International Corporation a (EIC)
School
the World team begins on March 1st. The team will be in
Central America for one week building primary schools and
playgrounds with Flywire and International Medical Group. Each
team member has committed to fund-raising
half the cost of their participation, with the companies
contributing the other half plus the necessary fixed amount to
cover the hard costs of school construction.
Stay updated on our 2020 EIC School the World journey through Facebook
and our blog.
