Taxes?

Well, lookie-here! After living in Canada for two years on a student visa, and not having to pay taxes for whatever reason, within a year of living in America I receive an email from the amazing people over in the International Department at my college, informing me that it is Tax time and would I be so kind as to fill out and turn in my forms...

I WAS SO CONFUSED.

Call me young, but I've never had to fill out any such forms and too be honest, I was a little confused that I had to.. after all, I've only been studying here for eight months. Never-the-less, I toughened up and headed into the office to fill out those daunting forms. Luckily, the department looking after the international kids at my college is stellar, and they made it a walk in the park. However! I do have one qualm on others behalf.. Had my advisor not emailed me, I would be currently walking around with not a clue that it was tax time. So, my advice for you international students is to create a bond with your international adviser if you have one! Or at least bring up the talk of taxes to any other international kids you may have befriended.

Good luck duckies!
