It is important to be aware that, as a nonresident in the US, you’re legally required to file a tax return if you received US income during 2022 by the 18 April 2023 deadline. Even if you didn’t work or receive income in the US, you’re still obliged to file a Form 8843 with the IRS.
University of Virginia has arranged access to 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.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR UVA EMAIL FOR TAX CODES AND DETAILS
Once you complete the preparation process in the Sprintax software, you may need to print, sign and mail your documents to the IRS. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to E-file your Federal tax return. However, this will depend on certain eligibility criteria. You can learn more about eligibility in this Sprintax blog - https://blog.sprintax.com/nonresident-federal-tax-efiling-live/
If you have a state filing requirement, you must also mail this to the tax authorities. Finally, if you only need to file Form 8843, this will also need to be mailed to the IRS. If you have any questions, the Sprintax team will be happy to help via their 24/7 Live Chat.
