Income Tax Assistance


The Clemson University Libraries provide tax forms in the Cooper Library lobby. However, no one on our staff is qualified to offer tax advice. There are several places (in addition to professional tax preparation services) where you can get help:

The IRS has several help options:
  • Call 1-800-829-4477 to listen to pre-recorded messages covering about 150 tax topics.

  • Call 1-800-829-1040 to speak to a person who can refer your call. The hours are Monday - Friday from 7 am - 10 pm, and Saturdays from 10 am - 3 pm.

  • You can access the IRS web site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not only can you download forms, but you can also search publications by keyword, look at a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), send comments or request help by e-mail, and view a variety of tools to help you calculate your taxes.

If you are an international student, you may contact the Office of International Programs and Students (OIPS) at 656-5589. They arrange to have people available to answer tax questions, although they are not able to assist individual students in preparing tax returns.
