Webinar Outline – “Filing taxes in the USA as a visiting scholar: a quick overview”

Filing taxes as a Visiting Scholar in the USA requires the effort of understanding the basic, albeit complex, conditions of fiscal residency, including the possible differences between federal and state tax return. This task may be less grueling than expected if a systematic approach is taken. We will cover how to determine fiscal residency according to the amount of time spent in the United States during the fiscal year 2020, and how to identify the need to file a federal and/or state return.

Tax Day in the USA is traditionally April 15, but in 2021 this deadline has been postponed to May 17 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
