Federal Filing
We handle W-2, 1099-DIV, 1099-MISC, Form 8843, and all required schedules. Every form you need for your 1040-NR and state return, filled automatically.
F-1 students with less than 5 years in the U.S. are exempt from FICA taxes. If your employer withheld them by mistake, we file the special forms for erroneous FICA tax deductions—so you can get it all back, with our help.
We support 10 states including Illinois, Florida, Texas, and more—with additional states coming soon. State returns are prepared and filled using the same simple process.
How it works
Our guided process makes tax filing simple. No accounting degree required. No 3-hour marathons like other services.
No tax jargon. We ask things like "Did you work on campus?" not "Enter your FICA-exempt wages from box 14." Just answer honestly — we handle the complexity.
1040-NR, Form 8843, state forms — all auto-filled with 100% accuracy. We determine which forms you need and fill them out. You don't touch a single form field.
Print-ready PDFs with exact mailing addresses. We even tell you which envelope to use. Sign, stamp, mail — done. Your tax filing is complete.
We've got answers.
Everything you need to know about filing taxes as an F-1 student.
Still have questions?
Yes! Form 8843 is required for ALL F-1 and J-1 students regardless of income. This form establishes your nonresident alien status and exempts you from certain days counting toward the Substantial Presence Test. We prepare Form 8843 for free - it's included automatically.
