Tax Q&A Session for International Students

Do your international students know that they must file their tax returns before the April 18th deadline? All students and their dependents must file Form 8843, regardless of whether they earned income in 2021. Students who have earned income will also need to file Form 1040NR. This month, we will have a livestream with a Sprintax tax expert so that your students can get answers to their tax questions. The livestream will take place tomorrow, March 16th at 11 AM Eastern Time and students can watch on either our Facebook page or YouTube channel. In the meantime, they may want to explore our Student Tax Return section to learn more about the tax filing process.

Celebrating Women's History Month

This March, we want to take the opportunity to celebrate the women in higher education who support and advocate for international students. If you know a team member, a local advocate, a student, etc. who deserves recognition for her contributions, we’d love to hear about her. Just send us an email telling us why you think she deserves a shout out and she could be highlighted through a blog or social feature. Happy Women’s History Month!
