Tax Literacy for NRAs

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offers tutorials about the US tax system designed specificaly for foreign students.  To go through the modules and learn about NRA tax regulations, visit the IRS website and take the Foreign Student Course .

Tax Literacy for RAs

Students who were once NRAs and become Resident Aliens for Tax Purposes (RA) switch from being mandated to comply with NRA tax law to being able to make their own choices about tax withholding. 

To better understand how to make these decisions, we suggest you visit the IRA website and take the Understanding Taxes module.

The IRS provides other tools, such as the Form W-4 Worksheet and Withholding Calculator to determine your tax withholding.
