Tax forms for 2014 are due April 15, 2015. The following topics are covered in this presentation:  \nIntroduction (cont’d)  \n• Federal tax obligation: who must file  \n• Tax forms that you receive  \n• Federal tax obligation  \n• State tax information  \n• Local (Scranton) tax information  \n• Other important Information  \n– Tax treaties  \n– W-2 and/or 1042-S forms from UofS, employer(s)  \n– Social security and FICA withholding  \n– Where to file  \n– Visa Number for Federal Form 8843  \n– Hiring a Tax Preparer/Accountant  \nFederal tax obligation: who must file  \n• All international students and their dependents are required to file at least one tax form for every year they are present in the US regardless of whether or not they earned any money.  \n• This does NOT NECESSARILY mean you have to pay taxes. However, you DO need to complete and submit the forms.  \n• NON-RESIDENT tax forms and instructions can be downloaded from the federal, state and local websites.  \nTax forms that you receive  \n• In January 2015, you received important tax forms in the mail from the University, your employer, your bank, etc. You will need to use these forms in order to complete your tax filings.  \n• Common forms you may receive are:  \n• W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) from your employer (if any) which summarizes your earnings in 2014 and taxes which were withheld from your pay.  \n• 1099 Forms:  \n– 1099-INT (Interest Income) form from your bank outlines earned interest (if any.)  \n– 1099-DIV outlines dividend interest on investments (if any.)  \n– 1099-MISC outlines miscellaneous income and is used for reporting income earned as an independent contractor (not an employee), as well as other earnings such as fees, commissions, rents, or royalties.  \n• 1042-S (received in March) shows wages received which are covered by a tax treaty, or amounts received for a non-qualified scholarship.  \nFederal tax obligation: Resident vs non-resident  \n• To know which federal tax forms to use, you must first determine whether you are a resident or non-resident for tax purposes. While this information can assist you, you also NEED to read the 1040NR (1040NREZ) instruction booklets.  \n• Also, it is important to understand that the tax definitions of \"resident\"and \"non-resident\" are not the same as the immigration definition of this term.  \n– If 2014 was the 6th calendar year (or 7th, 8th…) that you were present in the US (i.e., you are a student and you entered the US before 12/31/2009), you are probably a \"resident for tax purposes\" and will need to complete a 1040 or 1040EZ RESIDENT tax form.  \n– If you have been present in the US for fewer than 5 calendar years (i.e., you entered the US on or after 1/1/2010) you are probably a \"NON-RESIDENT\"FOR TAX PURPOSES in which case you MUST FILE AT LEAST THE 8843 FORM.  \n• If you are a considered a RESIDENT for tax purposes, you may be eligible for claiming the American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning Credit.  \nFederal tax obligation: Resident vs non-resident  \n• IF YOU ARE A \"NON-RESIDENT FOR TAX PURPOSES,\" COMPLETE FORMS:  \n• 8843 (you and your dependents )  \n– Your visa number is requested on Form 8843 – your visa is found in your passport on the page with the US entry visa stamp from the US Consulate abroad.  \n• Students who DID NOT earn any US source income or those whose only income was bank interest only need to file form 8843. All F-2 and J-2 dependents MUST ALSO file this form.  \n• 1040NR-EZ or 1040NR (for non-resident students with US income)  \n• Students with US source income (stipends, fellowships or salary) MUST have W-2 or 1042-S forms from Payroll before you can complete the tax forms.  \nFederal tax obligation: Resident vs non-resident  \n• The following federal tax forms can be downloaded ","cbCainy1h8ewGQ1Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainy1h8ewGQ1Q","pdf",321546,"English","# Introduction\n## Federal tax obligation: who must file\n## Tax forms that you receive\n## Federal tax obligation: Resident vs non-resident\n## State tax information\n## Local (Scranton) tax information","[{\"question\":\"Do international students have to file tax forms even if they earned no money in 2014?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
