2022纳税年度|常见问题

问:谁必须提交2022年纳税季的纳税申报表?

即使你没有任何收入, if you were physically in the US on F or J status anytime between 1 January – 31 December 2022, you're obligated to file a Form 8843 with the IRS (the Internal Revenue Service, 或“国税局”, 是美国税务机关).
与此同时, if you earned more than $0 of taxable US source income, you may need to file a federal tax return with the IRS. Depending on your individual circumstances, you may also need to file a state tax return(s).

问:报税截止日期是什么时候?

18 April 2023 is the last day for residents 和 nonresidents who earned US income to file Federal tax returns for the 2022 tax year.

Q: Who is considered Resident or Nonresident for Federal Tax Purposes?

一般, most international students 和 scholars who are on F, J, M or Q visas are considered nonresidents for tax purposes. International students on J-1 和 F-1 visas are automatically considered nonresident for their first five calendar years in the US, whilst Scholars/研究ers on J visas are automatically considered nonresidents for two out of the last six calendar years in the US. If you’ve been in the US for longer than the five or two year periods, the 实质存在测验 将决定你的税务居住地.

问:我该如何申报?

我们与……合作 Sprintax to provide you with an easy-to-use tax preparation software designed for nonresident students 和 scholars in the US. We (和 all other university staff) are not qualified or allowed to provide individual tax advice.

在你登录到 Sprintax, you will be asked a series of questions about the time you have spent in the US over recent years. Sprintax 这会决定你的纳税状况吗. If it determines that you are a "nonresident alien" (NRA) for federal tax purposes, you can continue to use the software to respond to a series of guided questions. Sprintax will then complete 和 generate the tax forms you need to send to the tax authorities.

然而,如果 Sprintax determines that you are a resident alien for federal tax purposes, 您将无法继续使用该软件.

Step by Step guide on How to File Your Nonresident Tax Forms (F 和 J)

1.)收集spring tax可能需要的文件

	文档	描述
✔	护照
✔	Visa/Immigration information, including form I-20 (F status) or form DS-2019 (J status)
✔	Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (if you have one)	This is not needed if you had no income 和 the 8843 is the only form you have to file.
✔*	W-2	如果你工作过，这张表格会报告你的工资收入. If you had more than one employer you should get a W-2 from each employer. It is issued by the end of January for the previous year. Make sure all employers from last year have an up-to-date address for you.
✔*	1042-S	此表格用于报告: 1. stipend, scholarship, fellowship income 和 travel grants (not tuition reduction or exemption) 2. 税收协定所涵盖的收入 3. payment for other types of services (eg by the semester as a note-taker) If you received this type of income, the 1042-S will be mailed to you by 15 March by the payer. 注:只有非居民外国人收到此表格. If your tax status changes to a Resident Alien you will not get a 1042-S. Login to Sprintax to check your tax status if you're not sure.
✔	US entry 和 exit dates for current 和 past visits to the US	In addition to passport stamps, you can review or print your US travel history 在这里
✔*	1099	这份表格报告杂项收入. Can be interest on bank accounts, stocks, bonds, dividends, earning through freelance employment
❌	1098-T	This form is NOT needed 和 can NOT be used for a nonresident tax return because NRAs are not eligible to claim education expense tax credits.

2.) 创建一个spring帐户
You will receive an email from the international student office providing you with a link to Sprintax to set up your account as well as your unique discount code to use on Sprintax. 打开你的新 Sprintax account by creating a UserID 和 password or if you have an existing account on Sprintax 您可以使用现有凭据登录.

3.) 按照Sprintax的说明操作
如果您没有赚取任何美国收入: Sprintax will generate a completed Form 8843 for you 和 each of your dependents (if you have any).
如果你有美国收入: Sprintax 会生成你的“报税文件”, 包括1040NR- ez或更长形式的1040NR, 取决于你的情况.

4.) (和你在一起.S. income only) If required, complete your state tax return
在你完成联邦申报表后， Sprintax will inform you if you need to complete a state tax return. 如果是这样，您将可以选择使用 Sprintax 额外收费. However, it is your choice to use them or to do the state tax return on your own.

5.) Read the instructions for filing/mailing your returns
记得阅读说明书 Sprintax 提供了.
You will be required to download, print 和 sign your federal tax return 和 mail it to the IRS. 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.
