Sprintax is the only online solution for nonresident federal tax e-filing and state tax return preparation.
Every nonresident in the US must file tax documents with the IRS.
If you were physically in the US in J status anytime between January 1 - December 31 of the tax year you're obligated to send at least one form, Form 8843, to the US tax agency IRS (Internal Revenue Service), even if you had no income.
If a nonresident J participant earns any US income, they will need to file a federal tax return with the IRS by law.
By using Sprintax Returns, you can guarantee that you are 100% US tax compliant. We will prepare every document that you need and ensure that you don’t pay any more tax than you need to.
April 15th 2024 is the tax filing deadline day for residents and non-residents who earned US income to file Federal tax returns for 2023.
Sprintax was created specifically for international students, scholars, teachers, researchers and professionals in the US on F, J, H, L, M and Q visas to make tax prep easy and ensure they are fully compliant with the IRS tax rules.
