Important Tax Information

Tax season is here and that means filling out forms!  To ensure that you are completed the correct forms (this includes J-1 and F-1 visa holders with no income received while in the US), please refer to our Tax Information page.

To determine whether you are a “nonresident alien for tax purposes” please complete our “Worksheet to Determine Tax Residency Status”.

CINTAX is easy to use.  Most users can complete and print their own nonresident alien income tax returns on their home or work computers without any problems.  We encourage you to try this first.  If you just don’t fee confident enough to use CINTAX on your own, you may make an appointment for one of two special CINTAX Labs to be held on Thursday, April 3rd and Thursday April 10th, between 5 and 7:30 p.m. in the Moody Medical Library, Room 238.
