As we enter the tax filing period
for 2012, you may be anxious to complete your return and to get your
refund. We at OHR and OIE understand this, and want to help!
Please
keep in mind that all non-US citizens (who are not US green card holders) should
first use the GLACIER tax compliance system to determine if you are a resident
or nonresident alien for tax purposes. If GLACIER determines that you are
a nonresident for tax purposes, we can help! As a nonresident for tax
purposes you will be able to complete your federal tax return using GLACIER Tax
Prep (GTP) which will be available for use via your current GLACIER account no
later than February 15, 2013.
Workshops assisting with the Georgia state
tax forms will be held February 20 through April 12
with dates, times, and locations to be announced soon.
Also, please be reminded that both
resident and nonresident aliens for tax purposes who claimed treaties in 2012,
as well as all those students who are nonresident aliens for tax purposes
receiving scholarships above and beyond tuition, will need a form 1042-S to
complete their tax return. 1042-S forms will also be released no later
than February 15, 2013. Recipients will receive an email from GLACIER
when the form is ready for use.
