Filing Your US Tax Return
 If you're an international student inside the
US you must provide the IRS with the tax Form 8843, even if you did not earn income last
year. Because of this, we've created our new Form
8843 Online Wizard! If you haven’t already checked it out, make sure you
do before the April 17th deadline. Our Wizard is free, and secure - information entered
into the Wizard is never stored.
Our tax section can provide you with
helpful information this tax season including what forms you need to complete, and with
partners like Sprintax, there is even help if you need further guidance.
