Income Tax Guidelines

The federal tax forms and instructions posted on this website under the ”Current Students” section apply to you regardless of which U.S. state you reside in currently. However, the local tax forms and instructions posted on our website are specific for the state of Ohio, the Oberlin school district, and the city of Oberlin. Therefore, if you don’t live in Ohio currently, different tax regulations will apply to you.

If you are currently a student at another U.S. school, we advise you to consult with your international student advisor their before you file taxes.

If you are currently working in the United States, we advise you to consult with your company’s payroll department and or a local tax preparer.
