Taxes

The ISSS staff is not able to assist in answering tax questions or completing tax forms. We have compiled a resource guide to assist international students and scholars in obtaining relevant tax information on our Tax Resource Page.

*Note: This general information is meant as a basic introduction to the different types of taxes to which people living in North Carolina may be subject and does not constitute legal tax advice. Individuals are responsible for understanding the tax instructions that apply to their own situations. Staff members at International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) are not qualified to and do not give individual tax advice. While many individuals may be able to file tax forms on their own, you may wish to seek professional advice from a tax counselor who understands nonresident tax regulations, especially if you have a very complicated case. Each individual is responsible for the proper handling of his or her income taxes.  ISSS disclaims any and all liability resulting from providing this general information.

Alert: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued warnings regarding possible scam telephone calls.  Criminals may pose as IRS officials to trick victims out of their money or personal information. The IRS has provided several tips to help you avoid being a victim of these scams: https://www.irs.gov/uac/irs-urges-public-to-stay-alert-for-scam-phone-calls.
