Tax Returns Due April 15th!
Filing tax returns can feel overwhelming, especially when the due date is in the middle of a semester. Did you know that all international students filing will require a Form 8843? Because of this, we’ve dipped our hands in to make it as easy as possible with our Form 8843 Wizard. Simply enter your information, print, sign and file it with the IRS. Rest assured that your information will be kept private, as nothing is saved by us once you’ve printed out the form for use.
If your questions and needs extend beyond the Form 8843, don’t hesitate to visit our Facebook page, where we recently did a live chat with our friends at Sprintax, who were kind enough to answer some common questions from international students filing tax returns. You can also click on our Tax page for any further inquiries.
