| U. S. Tax Bill Could Affect ASOR Student Members |
|
On November 16, 2017, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a tax bill that included a clause that would make tuition waivers for graduate students subject to income tax. This would significantly increase the tax liability of hundreds of thousands of graduate students—including many ASOR graduate student members. The current U.S. Senate version of the tax bill does not include the provision that would make tuition waivers taxable, and our friends at the National Humanities Alliance are suggesting that ASOR members who are U.S. citizens complete an action alert form that urges all Members of Congress to oppose this proposal. While ASOR is apolitical and does not take a stand on the larger tax bill, we hope all of our members will consider how we might best support our student members. Thank you for your consideration. |
