Tax Workshops

The Office of the Vice President for Finance (VPF) sponsors Individual Tax Workshops for MIT students and scholars typically in twice a year, in October as well as in February and March. The purpose of these workshops is to provide general guidance to students and scholars on the process of filing U.S. and MA tax returns. The workshops are not intended to provide individual tax advice.

Tax workshops for the 2024 tax year have been scheduled and recordings can be viewed linked:
