Tax Year 2022: Information for 
International Students

As an international student studying at Arkansas Tech University, it is important for you to know that it is the responsibility of each person in the U.S. to fill out the correct income tax return forms and to report those forms to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). These forms tell the IRS what income was earned and how much tax should be paid. You will commonly hear this process being referred to as "filing your taxes."

Income tax forms must be filled out and sent to the IRS on/before April 18, 2023. Students who earned income must also report their earnings to the State of Arkansas using form AR 1000NR. International students who did not receive wages as an employee only file tax Form 8843. It is important to note that ALL students must complete a tax form, whether you worked or earned a scholarship/fellowship or not.

Tech has purchased a license agreement so that you can use GLACIER Tax Prep (GTP), a tax preparation software designed especially for international students, to prepare your U.S. income tax return. The information provided in this page is intended to serve as a guide for you. Please do not substitute the information below for legal tax advice. It is only meant to assist you in the process of completing your tax forms correctly.
