Taxes for International Students

ALL nonresident aliens, in F or J status, are required to complete Form 8843 with the IRS regardless of whether they received income. This also includes dependents in F-2 and J-2 status, regardless of age.

If you are a nonresident alien (NRA) for tax purposes, you do not pay social security and Medicare taxes. You can direct your employer to the IRS website on NRA taxes for more information or contact our office.

If you are a resident alien (RA) for tax purposes only, you do not use the Glacier Tax Prep (GDP) software. Check out the IRS website on RA taxes for more information.
