Taxes

All international students that were employed within the U.S. during 2024 must submit taxes to the IRS by the deadline: April 15, 2025.

• International Student Services has arranged for free access to Sprintax tax preparation services for all UCM International Students.
• ISS will send an email to all UCM International Students in February with a unique code that provides access to Sprintax filing services.
  • Please check your email for the subject line 'Ucm International Students - Tax preparation services are now available!' to access your account.
• Please review the Sprintax Guide for important tax filing information.

Tax considerations:

• No earned income in 2024 -  You must file a form 8843 with the IRS before the deadline.
• Received taxable scholarships- 1040-S form provided by UCM (Ex. you received a stipend or housing allowance)
• Educational credits/1098-T - For U.S. nationals and residents only.

You will not need this form when filing if you are not considered a U.S. national or resident. Sprintax can help you determine your resident status. (If Sprintax identifies that you are a resident, contact Student Financial Services for the 1098-T).
