International Tax Compliance
Annual Tax Filing
The University of Arkansas provides GLACIER Tax Prep (GTP) access and tax support to eligible international students, scholars, and employees who are considered nonresident for U.S. tax purposes.
GTP can only be used for filing your federal tax return (Form 1040-NR). State tax return preparation is not supported by GTP.
GTP will be available by March 15th and may be accessed through your regular GLACIER account. Users who are unable to access the system can reach out to NRAtax@uark.edu for assistance
Please ensure you have received all tax forms before you begin filing your federal income tax return. Generally, nonresidents are ineligible for Form 1098-T.

If you are employed by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture (UADA), you may use the GTP license provided by either UADA or UAF—but do not create multiple federal returns.
If you work in a state that has an income tax, you may also need to file a state income tax return in addition to your federal return. Each state has its own rules, so we recommend reviewing that state’s individual income tax guidelines to understand whether you need to file, which form to use, and when and how to submit it.
If you have any questions, please email NRAtax@uark.edu or call 479-718-1819 for assistance.
Tax treaty benefits for non-student compensation are typically not limited to a dollar amount, but are limited by a specific number of years. Some countries have retroactive clauses attached to treaties, resulting in the treaty benefit being lost if the treaty time limit is exceeded. Before deciding to abide by the treaty, the limits of the treaty should be carefully weighed against the personal time committed to the employer.
