Dear International Student and Scholars,
The deadline to file your 2014 tax forms is fast approaching! Remember to submit your tax returns by

-
UCONN Vita Tax Sessions are completely full. UConn’s VITA program is no longer taking student/scholar appointments for tax preparation. If you already attend a UConn VITA Tax Session you can
pick up your completed tax returns on Thursdays, from 5 pm to 7 pm in room 106 in the School of Business. Remember that you must mail in these tax returns according to the instructions by April 15.

Other ways to prepare your tax returns:
