Tax Information & Resources
 
In general, F-1 students are considered to be non-residents for their first 5 calendar years in the U.S. Example: An F-1 student who arrived in the U.S. for the first time in January of 2002 is a non-resident through 2006. In 2007, the same student will become a resident for tax purposes if s/he remains in the U.S. for a minimum of 183 days during that year.
 
The primary tax forms for non-residents are listed below. Your personal circumstances will dictate which form you need to submit.
  •           1040NR-EZ - US Income Tax Return for Certain Nonresident Aliens With No Dependents
  •           1040NR - US Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return
  •            8843 - Statement for Exempt Individuals
