U.S. Tax Information

If you were in the United States but did not earn any money, you need to file form 8843 only. 

Individuals who earned income should file form 1040NR or 1040NR/EZ. Earned income would be any monies received in the United States that are not considered qualified expenses as defined by the IRS. More information about international tax responsibilities and eligible deductions can be found here.

You must have a Social Security number or Tax ID number to file 1040NR/1040 NR-EZ tax forms in the United States.

U.S. tax law is extremely complex and each foreign national's situation varies. Bard staff are not qualified to answer questions regarding individual tax liabilities, but can refer you to resources to help you with taxes in the U.S.  It is the responsibility of each international visitor to understand their own tax situation.

Federal tax forms, instructions for form completion, and additional information regarding international taxes can be found on the IRS website.
