Tax Information for International Students & Scholars PDF Print E-mail

This tax information is intended only for international students and scholars at the University of Oregon with income sources and income levels typical of students and scholars at the University. If you have income from unusual sources or higher than usual income you should not rely on this tax information. You should instead seek professional tax advice from a qualified accountant or attorney. You should also seek professional tax advice if you qualify as a resident taxpayer.


Statement of Individual Responsibility

International Affairs, as part of our broader service mission, sponsors workshops offered to international students and scholars at the University of Oregon, as an opportunity to obtain general tax information from independent tax professionals. The University cannot provide legal advice to individuals concerning their individual tax liability. You are ultimately responsible for complying with tax laws and you should consult with your personal tax advisor if you have specific questions about your individual tax liability.
