What Materials Will I Need?

Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance: A Guide for Institutions Making Payments to Foreign Students, Scholars, Employees, and Other International Visitors - Volume One, 2011 edition, authored by Donna Kepley serves as the Comprehensive Level and Intensive Level Tax Workshops' primary text.

Comprehensive and Intensive Level workshop participants should have a copy of the 2011 edition with them; please remember that this book is shipped so allow time for receipt prior to the WEBshop start date.

All other materials will be made available to WEBshop participants electronically via secure login to their Arctic Client Portal Profile. Materials will be available approximately three days prior to the Class start date and will remain available online for 30 days after the Class start date.

What is the right level of instruction for me?

All of the ARC Training Workshops and WEBshops are coded to identify our instruction level:

B - Beginning Level : Generally for those with less than two years of experience in this topic
I - Intensive Level : Generally for those with more than two years of experience in this topic who need a refresher
U - Update : Generally for those with more than two years of experience in this topic who need an Update of the recent issues
F- Focused Topic : A Focused discussion to supplement any Beginning, Intensive or Update workshop

If you have any questions about which workshops to combine or what is the correct level for you, please contact us at info@arcticintl.com

Can I participate in multiple WEBshops?

At Arctic International LLC, we want to empower our clients to better understand the complex issue of nonresident alien tax so that they may more efficiently manage their institution's process for making payments to foreign nationals. We strongly encourage our clients to attend On-Site Workshops; however, we understand that budget issues and time out of the office may not accommodate such training. Our Courses are designed to be taken together and thus we offer discounted pricing to do so.

We also believe that being in compliance takes more than one well-trained person! The "Nonresident Alien Tax Specialist" must not only have a back-up, but must have the cooperation and understanding of many others at the institution, including those in Payroll, Accounts Payable, Student Accounting, Human Resources, Controller's Offices, General Counsel, Grants and Contracts, International Student and Scholar Office - and just about anyone else who might be interested in the topic. As such, we encourage institutions not to sign up ONE individual, but to sign up MANY individuals - and we offer significantly discounted pricing to do so.

Will I receive CPE credit?

State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit.
