Dear Students and Scholars, Many of you have already participated in a tax workshop or purchased a tax code to fill out your tax forms. Just a reminder that if you have U.S. income from 2015 you MUST file income taxes with the IRS and mail out your tax forms by 4/15/2016. See below for ways Students and Scholars with NO Income: Students and scholars with no income will still need to file the tax form 8843 to report on days of presence in F-1/J-1 status in the prior calendar year. You can download the 8843 online here<https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8843.pdf> and should submit this by mail to the IRS. Students and Scholars with Income: Students and scholars with income may receive forms for employment income, taxable scholarship income or miscellaneous income. These may be forms W-2, 1042-S or 1099 and you will need these forms when filing your taxes. 1. Fill out your federal tax returns using Sprintax software. You can buy a Sprintax access code from ISSS for $3 to fill out your federal tax return forms. There is an additional fee you can pay directly to Sprintax if you need to fill out CT state tax forms. Visit http://isss.uconn.edu/tax-preparation-resources/ for more information or to purchase your code. Sprintax staff can help answer your tax questions. ____________ Arthur Galinat Assistant Director International Student & Scholar Services UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT GLOBAL AFFAIRS 2011 HILLSIDE ROAD, U-1083 STORRS, CT 06269-1083 PHONE: 860.486.3855 | EMAIL: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> http://isss.uconn.edu<http://isss.uconn.edu/> | www.facebook.com/UConnISSS<http://www.facebook.com/UConnISSS> | Appointments: http://www.advapp.uconn.edu/ > ISSS Past Chair, Region XI NAFSA: Association of International Educators <tel:860-486-3855>
