How to Self-File

Before starting your tax return, ensure you have all the required documents.

If you need additional help filing your taxes, you may attend one of the tax workshops offered between February and April. The hours are posted on the Tax Assistance page.

Email internationalstudentbyu@gmail.com to request the URL to TaxSlayer to complete a NONRESIDENT tax return, Form 1040NR. You will need a new URL every year to access the most recent version of TaxSlayer.
