As we enter the tax filing period for 2013, you may be
anxious to complete your return and to get your refund. We at OHR and OIE
understand this, and want to help!
This year the IRS has delayed all tax filings and will
not accept returns earlier than January 31, 2014. 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 17,
2014.
Workshops assisting with the Georgia state tax forms will
be held February 24 through April 14 Dates, times, and locations can be found here.
Also, please be reminded that both resident and
nonresident aliens for tax purposes who claimed treaties in 2013, 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 17, 2014. Recipients will receive an email from GLACIER when the
form is ready for use.
