Taxes

NOVA international student advisors are not tax specialists and are unable to provide you with tax advice. We recommend that students check all information with IRS resources or an accountant. 

Taxes are complicated even for U.S. citizens and the tax laws change yearly. If you have questions about your taxes please seek professional assistance.
