NON-RESIDENT INCOME TAX RESPONSIBILITIES

If you work, you must pay tax. Foreign students and scholars, including their dependents, are required to file tax returns ONLY IF they have income subject to tax in the United States.All F, J, and M visaholders are required to file a form 1040NR or 1040 NREZ if they have taxable income.

Non-resident aliens are required to file an additional statement (Form 8843) which serves as an explanation of the visa-holder's claim to non-resident status for tax purposes.

The International Student Office at the University of Arizona offers valuable income tax information and help with the forms on its website. Read their information at

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

CESL students who do not work on campus, cannot apply for a social security number. Legally you should not need a social security number to get a credit card, open a bank account, buy a car, turn on utilities or to get a drivers license. However, you will often be asked for a social security number as it is becoming a national means of identification. When you are asked for a number, show your passport to show your legal immigration status as a student.
