What documents should I have ready when I use Sprintax Returns?

Document Description
Passport  
Visa Document (Form I-20 or DS-2019)  
Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (if you have one) This is not needed if you had no income and the 8843 is the only form you have to file.
W-2 This form reports your wage earnings if you worked. If you had more than one employer you should get a W-2 from each employer. It is issued by the end of January for the previous year. Make sure all employers from last year have an up-to-date address for you.
1042-S This form is used to report:

1. Stipend, scholarship, fellowship income and travel grants (not tuition reduction or exemption)
2. Income covered by a tax treaty
3. Payment for other types of services

If you received this type of income, the 1042-S will be e mailed to you by mid March.

Note: Only Tax Non-Residents receive this form. If your tax status changes to Tax Resident, you will not get a 1042-S. Login to Sprintax to check your tax status if you’re not sure.

1099 This form reports miscellaneous income. Can be interest on bank accounts, stocks, bonds, dividends, earning through freelance employment.
1098-T Please note this form CANNOT be used for Tax Non-Resident returns because Tax Non-Residents are not eligible to claim education expense tax credits.
