CSU is committed to provide services that will assist you in earning your degree while maximizing your Cleveland State experience.
During the upcoming Tax Filing Season, the Center for International Services and Programs (CISP) will provide CSU international
students and exchange visitors with access to software Glacier Tax Prep that will help complete tax forms and prepare tax
returns for Tax Year 2013. This information contained in this communication is focused on preparing and filing federal tax returns by
the April 15, 2014 tax-filing deadline.
Can the Center for International Services and Programs assist me in filing my 2013 Tax Return?
Unfortunately, no. The Center staff members are not qualified to assist you with tax matters, including tax preparation and filing.
This is why we have purchased the tax filing software, Glacier Tax Prep, for your use.
If you have questions about how to file taxes in the U.S., we recommend that you contact the CSU-based Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) Program, the services for which are provided by Beta Alpha Psi you can email them bapcsuohio.edu or call 216687-4718.
At the time you begin to prepare your tax return, you should have all Forms W-2 from all employers for whom you have
worked during the 2013 Tax Year.
U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) or U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
You should receive a Form W-2 from all employers; if you did not receive a Form W-2 from an employer with whom you
worked in 2013, contact the employer immediately to obtain the Form W-2.
You will not receive a W-2 form if you have not worked in the U.S. during the 2013 Tax Year; however, you will need to file
Form 8843. Form 8843 can be found at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8843.pdf.
Any international student or exchange visitor that is from a country with a Tax Treaty and who has completed tax
exemption forms at the start of employment will need Form I042-S along with the W-2 to complete their tax return. The
1042-S form will be mailed to the student or exchange visitor by mid-February from the Payroll Office.
U.S. tax regulations stipulate that Form 8843 should be completed by all F-1 and J-1 non-immigrants, even if they have no
U.S.-sourced income for the 2013 Tax Year.
Form 1040NR EZ is the specific tax form that F-1 and J-1/J-2 non-immigrants must use when filing U.S. tax returns with the
federal government.

How are Non-Resident Alien and Resident Alien defined for Tax Purposes?
You are a non-resident alien for tax purposes if you have been in the U.S. in your F or J status for less than five years.
You are considered a resident alien for tax purposes only if you have been in the U.S. for more than five years on a student
(F-1) or exchange visitor (J-1/J-2) visa. This does not mean that you are a resident in an immigration sense. Resident alien
status is for tax purposes only.
A cost-effective, easy-to-use tool for non-resident aliens that helps you prepare tax forms based on the information that
you enter.
