Tax Filing Information
It is important to be aware that as a nonresident in the United States, you are legally required to file a tax return regardless if you've earned income or not. Failure to file tax documentation can lead to complications when applying for US visas in the future.
Tax filing deadline is April 15 each year.
Sprintax was created specifically for international students, scholars, teachers and researchers in the US on F, J, and M visas, AND THEIR DEPENDENTS to demystify tax preparation and make sure they are fully compliant with the IRS. Sprintax is an easy-to-use, step-by-step tool that helps you prepare your taxes online, hassle-free.
As the ISSS Office is unable to help with tax filing, Sprintax has many resources and free educational tax webinars; please visit the links below:
