State of California Taxes

OIS offers free State of California tax workshops to assist you with filling out your CA tax form (540NR) and state tax booklets are available at the OIS front desk. Please bring your completed 1040NR from CINTAX and any W-2, 1042-S or 1099 forms received to the sessions below.

If you have already visited USC University Payroll Services (UPS) to complete an application for an ITIN tax ID number (you were not eligible for a Social Security Number) but have not received the number, contact UPS at payroll@usc.edu for a copy of your signed W-7 to attach to your state tax forms.  If you have already received the ITIN number, you would use this to fill-out your state return and your tax ID number.
