Income tax clinics for postdocs
Do you have questions, or need individual support filing your taxes this year? Connect with Robert Sproul, a retired faculty member from the School of Accounting and Finance, for a personal 15-minute consultation regarding your tax return. These consultations may take place in-person on campus or via telephone. For the in-person option, attendees will check in at the GSPA front desk (Needles Hall, 2201) before being directed to an office for the meeting. For the telephone option, attendees must provide their number upon registration, and will receive a call at the agreed upon meeting time.
