Every international student and their dependents are required to file their tax return if they were in the US during the previous calendar year. April 15th is the deadline to file prior year taxed in the U.S.
- You might get a refund- Some international students will qualify for a refund due to tax treaties and a lack of serious income if they’ve earned income in the US.
- You fulfill your visa obligations- All international students must file at least Form 8843 in order to remain legal under F visa, even if you didn’t earn any money in the US.
