As a non-resident in the U.S., you’re legally required to file taxes if you were present in the U.S. during 2024. Failure to file can lead to complications when applying for US visas in the future. The US 2025 tax season starts this month! The information below is provided to help you prepare for the tax season when it begins.
Who must file taxes? EVERYONE has to file SOMETHING!
All international students, and their dependents present in the U.S. during any part of the 2024 calendar year have some type of IRS filing obligation and are responsible for filing annual tax forms (also known as "tax returns"). WHAT you will file is dependent on a number of factors. -
If you DID EARN INCOME IN THE U.S. during the 2024 calendar year, you will need to file a federal income tax return with the IRS as required by law as well as Form 8843 by April 15, 2025. CLU has arranged $17 access to Sprintax Tax Preparation for you. Sprintax will guide you through the tax preparation process, arrange the necessary documents and check if you’re due a tax refund. We have a limited discounted code for purchase. After purchasing, you will receive additional instructions on how to use the code within 1-2 business days. Please note that if you have a state filing requirement, you must also mail this to the tax authorities.

If you earned NO INCOME IN THE U.S. during the 2024 calendar year, file ONLY Form 8843 - "Statement for Exempt Individuals and Individuals with a Medical Condition." Form 8843 is not a U.S. income tax return. It is an informational statement required by the IRS for nonresidents for tax purposes (including spouses or dependents of non-residents).
