Students should have no trouble finding free help with taxes during the next month. There are several on-campus options for students who need help filing taxes.
Legal Services for Students is working with Student Union Activities to put on three workshops during the next month. Students who attend the workshops will file their taxes online with free software provided by the IRS and attorneys from LSS will be there to answer questions. LSS also provides workshops for international students who fill out a different tax form.
SUA special events coordinator Jabiz Behzadpour, a junior from Topeka, said she thinks students get confused and don’t know where to start.
“It’s something you always have other people do for you,” Behzadpour said, “but it’s definitely a good skill that would be helpful to learn.”
Michele Kessler, LSS associate director, said she wants students to learn how to do their taxes themselves, but also have help along the way. She said if students have further problems after the workshop or if they have a complicated issue, they can make an appointment through LSS to get help.
“First go to the workshop because you might be able to get it done by yourself,” Kessler said, “and if not, come in and make an appointment.”
Kessler said spring is the office’s busiest time of the year and they have two attorneys assigned specifically to help with taxes.
Students can also get help from KU law students any day of the week through its free walk-in service. Their services are open to everyone, not just students.
