Tax Services for International Students & Scholars (Nonresident Aliens)

Foreign nationals temporarily present in the United States—including students, trainees, scholars, teachers, researchers, exchange visitors, and cultural exchange participants—are subject to special U.S. tax rules that differ significantly from those applicable to U.S. residents.

U.S. tax compliance for nonresident aliens can be complex. Many international students and trainees are unfamiliar with U.S. tax filing obligations and may unintentionally file an incorrect return or fail to file required forms altogether. Such errors may result in penalties, compliance issues, or complications affecting immigration records. Due to the specialized nature of nonresident alien taxation, professional assistance is often necessary, yet qualified expertise in this area can be limited.

At eWealthMax, our tax professionals have experience handling the unique tax reporting requirements applicable to nonresident aliens, including income, scholarships, and treaty-based exemptions.

Mandatory Filing Requirements

All individuals present in the United States under F or J visa classifications who were physically present during the tax year are generally required to file at least one U.S. federal tax document with the IRS.

  • Individuals in F-1, F-2, J-1, or J-2 status must file Form 8843, even if no U.S. income was earned during the tax year.
  • Failure to comply with filing requirements may result in future tax or immigration-related complications.

Nonresident Alien Tax Review & Preparation

As part of our nonresident tax services, we assist with:

  • Determining U.S. tax residency status by applying the Substantial Presence Test
  • Reviewing income sources and payments for applicable tax treaty benefits
  • Assessing eligibility for away-from-home or related deductions, where permitted
  • Preparing the appropriate federal tax return, including Form 1040-NR
  • Completing and attaching required supporting forms and statements, such as:
    • Form 8843
    • Form 2106 (if applicable)
    • Schedule C (if applicable)
    • Scholarship or Fellowship Grant Statements

Our approach emphasizes accuracy, compliance, and adherence to IRS regulations governing nonresident alien taxation.
