  The University of Wisconsin System has purchased Glacier Tax Prep (GTP) tax preparation software and is providing free access to UW employees and students who were nonresident aliens during the filing calendar year. GTP will prepare Nonresident Alien U.S. federal income tax return Form 1040NR. GTP also prepares Form 8843. Use of GTP is free of charge but is limited to people with University of Wisconsin with a Glacier Account. GTP is different from your Glacier account for payroll. Glacier forms generate the State Tax form.
