As an International student on an F-1\/J-1 visa, you and your dependents must file taxes each year you are in the U.S.<\/strong>, whether you earned income or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note<\/strong>: In addition to federal taxes, you may have to pay state and local taxes as well. The state of North Carolina does have an income tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DISCLAIMER: The Pulliam Center for International Education and its staff are not tax professionals and cannot give tax advice. We can only provide general guidance for filing taxes. Students should contact a certified accountant who specializes in non-resident aliens (NRA taxes) for further assistance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 海角社区 has partnered with Sprintax<\/a> to assist our international students with their tax filing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step in filing your taxes in the U.S. is to take a Substantial Presence Test<\/a> or Residency Test through Sprintax Calculus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The IRS states that F-1 students who have been in the U.S. for five years or less are considered nonresidents for taxes<\/strong> because the IRS code exempts students from the Substantial Presence Test for the first five years the student is in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students who have been in the U.S. for five years or more are considered residents<\/strong> for tax filing purposes. Note: Residency for tax purposes does not equate to residency for immigration status.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n For students with complex residency situations, please review the Tax Residency Status Examples<\/a> provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Sprintax Calculus will apply the Substantial Presence Test and determine if you are a non-resident or resident for tax purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Free Webinars<\/strong> \u2013 Sprintax<\/a>, post annual calendars of free webinars. Students may sign up and view the tax webinars alone, or with the Pulliam Center for International Education during tax season. NOTE: All webinar registrants are sent a link to the recorded information session after each webinar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 24\/7 Support \u2013 <\/strong>Students can contact the Sprintax Support Team via the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several forms you may receive at the beginning of each calendar year. Each contains important information that Sprintax will use to generate your tax filing forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n
