Tips for Educators

  1. Did you know that tuition benefits you receive for your children to attend the school where you work are not taxable?

  2. Housing benefits—even school-provided housing—are taxable in most cases. But there are some exceptions if your employer requires that you live on campus. School directors, in particular, might be in this category.

  3. Even if you earn less than $91,400 (for 2009) and are sure that you owe no tax, you are still required to file a tax return.

Most mainstream tax preparation firms in the US don't know the ins and outs of your tax situation. Most do-it-yourself tax programs don't adequately explain the issues you need to know. Let Overseas Tax Services help!
