If you are an F-1 student or F-2 dependent, you are required to file taxes each year, no matter whether no not you have worked in this tax year.HOW TO SCHEDULE YOUR TAX SESSION(S) WITH BSC?
We encourage international students to set up two meetings with BSC Tax team:
- AN INDIVIDUAL 15 minute INTRO SESSION – IN DECEMBER and JANUARY
This is a quick session where BSC staff can learn more about your personal tax circumstances and assist you in applying the current tax laws to your situation. The intro session will outline your next steps and actions you might need to take. This INTRO session will provide you with next steps and actions you might need to take before tax time next spring. Schedule YOUR 15- MINUTE INTRO SESSION HERE.
- ONE-ON-ONE 1 hour SESSION – IN FEBRUARY
This will be a tutorial session to walk through the app on your phone, answering questions and accepting your documents so BSC can prepare your tax return for you. Schedule YOUR ONE-ON-ONE TUTORIAL SESSION HERE.
