Dear Exchange Visitors,
As an international scholar, you are a nonresident in the US. If you received US income during the calendar year 2022, you are legally required to file a tax return by April 18, 2023.
Even if you did not work or receive income in the US, you are still obliged to file a Form 8843 with the IRS.
UMBC has arranged access to a tax filing software, Sprintax, for you. Sprintax will guide you through the tax preparation process, arrange the necessary documents, and check if you’re due a tax refund.
Sprintax was used by over 200,000 international students, scholars and nonresidents last year, and the average Federal refund received by eligible individuals was over $1,017.84.
In the link above, you will find detailed guidance on how to file taxes; workshop videos, and a special code to use. For any questions, please contact Sprintax directly, not our office.
I wish you a good day!
Diane
