Taxes
All F and J visa holders are required by the U.S. government to file forms with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) annually, even if you did not earn any income.
Each year, the International Student Services Office (ISSO) purchases interactive software to assist UT Dallas non-immigrants with tax compliance. This software provides you with step-by-step instructions that enable you to complete your taxes accurately and completely on your own. All enrolled UT Dallas students and OPT students are eligible to use this software.
The ISSO will email you with instructions on tax filing in February and March of each year. This webpage will also have updated information at that time.
If would like more information on U.S. taxes before that time, we recommend you contact one of the following resources:
- Internal Revenue Service website.
- A tax professional who is knowledgeable about taxes for foreign nationals.
