Presented by the International Scholars Office for MIT faculty, postdocs, and visitors (non-students).

When: Wednesday, February 22, 2012, 9:30 am* - 10:30 am
*Please arrive early so that you do not miss any critical information. We will begin promptly at 9:30 am.

Where: Room 32-123 (Stata Center)

The ISchO staff will provide general information about federal (U.S.) and Massachusetts state tax filing requirements and give instructions for using Windstar Foreign National Tax Resource.

We regret that we will not be able to answer questions specific to your individual tax situation or tax return.

Windstar is an Internet-based system that is available to international scholars with MIT certificates and kerberos passwords. The website contains detailed tax-related information as well as tax preparation software.

Windstar tax preparation software is designed primarily for individuals who are Nonresident Aliens for Federal Tax Purposes in F, J, M, or Q visa status.

Limited information for H-1B, TN and O status will be available in this workshop. More information about taxes is posted on the ISchO website.
