How to File For a Tax Return

Need Help Filing Your Tax Return?

Tax Return

If you have worked over in America on the J1-program, you’re legally obliged to file a tax return for the year. This is a new law that came in as of 2018 and something every Camp Counselor has to complete after their summer in America.

To file your US tax return, you’ll need your W-2 form. This is a summary of the wages and tax you paid during the summer. If you have not yet received your W-2 form, make sure to contact your camp.
