Tax Filing Requirments for F and J Visa Holders

Many of you may be unaware that the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires international students and scholars on F and J visas and their dependents to file a tax return with the federal government.

Form 8843 must be filed by all international students and scholars for the  tax year (January to December ) even if no money was earned.  The due date to submit this form to IRS is June 15. 

Form 1040NR-EZ (or 1040NR) is required for students and scholars who earned income from a U.S. source during the fiscal year.  The due date is April 15.

Forms will be available in the Office of International Programs and Services or online at irs.gov

Other reference materials are also available such as IRS publications on tax treaties, scholarship and fellowship taxation, and general guidelines for non-residents filing taxes.  Additionally, we have prepared some handouts informing you of where you can get tax help.

Although the College cannot help you complete your tax return, we will try to provide you with the information you need to fulfil your obligation.
