NON-RESIDENT ALIEN TAXATION
VOLUNTEER INFORMATION, NRA VITA SITE
Volunteers are sought to staff the 2007 Nonresident Alien (NRA) Volunteer Income
Tax Assistance (VITA) site to assist international students and researchers with
tax return preparation for tax year 2007. This is a unique opportunity to get
involved with the international community on campus and to receive
high-level training (and IRS NRA VITA certification) on tax issues.
Volunteers need not have previous experience with tax return preparation, and will not be expected to do line-by-line tax return preparation as a result of going through this training. International students and researchers will complete their own returns using the computer software provided. Volunteers will be expected to answer software-related and some tax return-related questions. Volunteers will not be expected to staff the VITA site alone - there will always be a minimum of two volunteers scheduled at all times. Training is scheduled from 12:00pm to 5:00pm on Saturday, Feb. 16, 2007 in General Classroom Building (GCB) room 222-A. Volunteers must complete and pass each component of the NRA VITA volunteer certification test prior to being scheduled at the NRA VITA site. The NRA VITA site will be open from 1:00pm until 6:00pm in the Memorial Union, Room N214 during the following weeks: February 25-29, 2008 March 17-21, 2008 April 7-11, 2008 In addition to the NRA site, there will be tax return assistance provided for persons who are Resident Aliens for tax purposes who have tax treaty benefits available. Watch this website for announcements of when this tax return assistance will be scheduled. Volunteer assistance at these workshops would also be appreciated. To volunteer or for additional information, please contact NRA VITA Site Volunteer Coordinator, Brian, by e-mail at UMCCASHIERSNRAVITA@missouri.edu |
