Tax considerations:

• No earned income in 2023 -  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).
