ISSO Updates (COVID-19, Tax extension and webinar, Tips)
Life has changed dramatically since the last in-person class was held at Columbia just over 3 weeks ago on Friday, March 6th. The disruption to our academic, professional, and personal lives cannot be overstated. Some of you packed in a hurry and traveled home or elsewhere; others are self-isolating in your homes along with fellow New Yorkers.
Tax-Filing Information
Federal and State Tax Deadlines Extended until July 15
If you were physically in the U.S. in F or J status anytime between January 1 - December 31, 2019 you will be required to send at least one form to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), even if you had no income. Although US. income tax law is complex, we provide resources and tax workshops to demystify the process and help you comply with your federal (and possibly) state tax obligations.
