The deadline for taxes is April 15th

All CINTAX access codes will be mailed out to those who have requested them before this session takes place.  Please come prepared with all of your tax documents.

Who needs to file taxes? Everyone, including you!  All nonimmigrants (including persons on F-1, J-1, H-1, J-2 and F-2 status) who have earned income in the U.S. or received a scholarship from a U.S. source (including UST) are required by law to file Federal and State income tax forms with the Internal Revenue Service by April 15 for the previous year.

Also, all F-1 and J-1 students and dependents must file the simple 8843 form, whether they worked or not.  This can protect you from being improperly taxed in the future.

The Federal forms you must file are different from those US citizens must file and generally are not available in libraries or post offices. When you file your tax return you must submit any W-2 forms (from employers) and any 1099 forms (from your bank). 

Students who receive a UST scholarship should wait to file their tax returns until they receive a 1042-S form from the UST payroll office,  please contact the payroll office directly if you have not received this March 15, 2011.

You can also get forms and information on Federal and State taxes from these 2 government websites: 

• US: http://www.irs.gov  
• State of Minnesota: http://www.taxes.state.mn.us   
• Nonimmigrants who do not have a US Social Security Number must apply for an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification) number from IRS and use this number on your tax forms.

You can obtain an ITIN number by downloading http://www.irs.ustreas.gov or by calling the IRS at    1-800-829-3676.
