Nonresident Tax Returns
A U.S. tax question starts with your residency facts.
F-1 student, B-1/B-2 visitor, exchange visitor or another visa holder? We review your time in the United States, income and prior filings before discussing the return you need. Nonresident tax status is not determined by your visa label or by living outside the country alone.
How we can help
Support shaped around your situation.
- Form 1040-NR preparation when applicable
- F-1 students, including OPT/CPT-related income review
- B-1/B-2 visitors and other visa holders: tax residency and filing review
- Form 8843, treaty considerations and state return requirements review
Get ready
What to bring to the conversation.

Before you begin
Your questions, answered.
Does F-1 or B-1/B-2 status automatically mean I file Form 1040-NR?
No. Immigration status and federal tax residency are different. Days of presence, applicable exclusions and other rules can affect whether you are a resident, nonresident or dual-status taxpayer. We review the facts before choosing the return.
Can an F-1 student have a filing requirement without income?
A qualifying student who excludes days of presence may need Form 8843 even when no income tax return is required. We review your status, years in the U.S. and income to determine the applicable filings.
Do you help other international taxpayers?
