If you would like for IE Taxes* to do or file your taxes, please bring all your documents (you can download them from the above list) to the Office of International Student Services and we will, in turn, give them to IE Taxes*. The turn around time is approximately one week.

†There are other companies you can choose as well such as H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt. Please note that you should only pay about $45 for tax preparation. You can also file your own taxes if you rather do so. You can do them by hand (downloading all the forms and mailing them) or you can e-file through the IRS web site. Alternatively, you can use third-party web sites such as TurboTax.com.
