Free Tax Assistance for Foreign Nationals
The large, foreign national student
community at UH (23rd in the U.S.)
has benefited from VITA�s assistance
in preparing their U.S. tax returns
(Forms 1040 NR or 1040 NR EZ) in
accordance with complex tax laws.
The University of Houston was
approved as a VITA site in 1998 for
UH foreign nationals. The VITA
program is offered by the Houston
Chapter of CPAs in cooperation with
the Internal Revenue Service.
The VITA program consists of
volunteers from the Houston Chapter
of CPAs and the local community who
review and/or prepare tax returns
for those individuals who need help
in the local community. Most campus
volunteers will be provided by the
College of Business. The site
manager will train these volunteers
in preparing nonresident alien tax
returns. International Student
Services will provide the publicity
for this campus event.
Location - University Center in the
Bayou City Room (# 202) on 2nd floor
Help-dates - February 26, March 19,
26, and April 2, 9
(Saturdays only)
Times - 10AM to 2PM
This program will not only provide
an invaluable service to the foreign
national community at the University
of Houston, but also an enriching
and educational experience for those
students volunteering to help in
preparing tax returns for UH foreign
nationals.
