Immigration & Human Resources Services (IHRS) offers guidance related to 2023 international tax treaty and tax filing updates. Those in need of assistance can visit the second floor of Crawford Hall to run a tax treaty benefits analysis.
The analysis will determine whether you are eligible for tax treaty benefits and to what extent. Without this analysis, your taxes will be withheld at the higher resident alien rate, regardless of whether you qualify for a tax treaty benefit. If you have any questions, contact IHRS at visa@case.edu. Individuals are encouraged to visit soon because they are not able to retroactively claim benefits, except possibly through their income tax return next April (2024).
The Internal Revenue Service has a comprehensive section for international taxpayers on their website.
IRS taxpayer assistance centers are another good source for personal tax help when you believe your tax issue cannot be handled online or by phone, and you want face-to-face assistance.
If you need to resolve a tax problem, have questions about how the tax law applies to your individual tax return, or you’re more comfortable talking with someone face-to-face, visit your local taxpayer assistance center where you can present your records and talk with an IRS representative across the counter. No appointment is necessary. If you prefer, you may call a local number to learn about available and alternate services, and to reschedule appointments with IRS personnel. If you have an ongoing, complex tax account problem or a special need, such as a disability, an appointment may be requested. All other issues will be handled without an appointment.
Before visiting your local office check to see what services are available. Services may vary from site to site.
As many of these offices are located in federal office buildings, visitors may not be able to bring cell phones with camera capabilities.
IHRS does not employ tax professionals or accountants. IHRS cannot assist with specific tax or personal taxation questions. International staff, faculty, students and visitors are encouraged to research and investigate tax preparation services and the U.S. tax regulations.
