Income Tax Webinars for International Students
| |
International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) at UK is pleased to announce the following webinars for J-1 scholars and F-1/J-1 international students to learn more about filing a tax return for federal, state tax income or other tax filing forms (1040NR, 8843, W-7 etc.). Webinars will be hosted by our provider Sprintax. Sprintax is a tax preparation service used only for F and J visas who cannot use other tax services for U.S. residents. All F and J students and scholars must file a tax form 8843 even if you didn’t work in 2023 but were physically present in 2023.
These tax webinars will provide general information and explain how to file your tax forms using a free tax discount code or embedded link. UK provides tax preparation software to help you file one federal for FREE. International students and scholars are responsible to pay for any additional forms such as state tax forms, ITIN or other tax related forms, if applicable. A discount will apply for J-2/F-2 dependents when filing the Form 8843 together as a family. For these additional services you may also choose to use the services of UK’s Legal Tax Clinic offered through the law school.
University of Kentucky specific processing tax webinars
Other PUBLIC Webinar Dates
Public webinars offer general information but will not explain how to obtain access using the special discount codes which are made available to you by ISSS. However, they can be useful to understand how to use Sprintax software and complete the forms properly. Students may be unable to ask individual questions as it’s open to anyone.

ETD Submitters Tips
We recommend that each day you work on your thesis or dissertation, you save your document under a brief name that ends with the current date. For example, "Ch One 24-Mar-2012", then tomorrow, "Ch One 25-Mar-2012." You will have a chronological archive of your work in case you make an inadvertent change or even lose the file on which you are currently working. It’s well worth the expense of buying removable media such as a flash drive, or saving your work to the cloud. It’s also a good idea to have copies in multiple places. It takes a bit more time, but sensible backup procedures can save you from a lot of heartbreak and many hours of lost time down the road.

Course Repeatability
It is important to be familiar with the repeatability limits of courses.
If a student exceeds the limit, the Registrar’s Office will not assign academic credit to the course. The Graduate School cannot support petitions for exceptions to this policy.

For Graduating Master (Plan A & Plan B) and Specialist Students: Degree Audit
Conducting a degree audit is critically important during the semester you intend to graduate. Checking at the start of the semester gives you a view of the requirements you have satisfied and those that are remaining.
If you discover a course that was wrongly assigned to a requirement, or not credited, you should bring this to the attention of your DGS (Director of Graduate Studies) or your program advisor. The program should contact the student affairs officer for the area/ discipline well in advance of the final examination to resolve. If there are requirements that have not been met, then you and your program will need to decide it there are substitutions that will fulfill that requirement.
