Additional Tax Filing Information
The April 18th US tax deadline is approaching soon.
With that in mind, we wanted to remind you that you can easily file your nonresident taxes online with Sprintax. Additional information regarding Sprintax can be found in our previous newsletter.
1042-S Information:
While Fordham does issue 1042-S to international students, not everyone is entitled to receive one and there are specific circumstances that govern the generating of a 1042-S.
In order for a student/employee to receive a 1042-S from the Payroll Department, the following criteria must be met:
- International student or employee must interview with Payroll Dept to determine their tax status (they need to e-mail internationalapplicantinfo@fordham.edu to set up an appointment and download forms)
- A valid Social Security Number is required to be input in to Banner Payroll
- A treaty must be in place between the US and the host country in order to receive treaty benefits
- Student/Employee must have earned income at Fordham and be on Fordham payroll. This does not include scholarships/fellowships.
LAST SEMESTER OF STUDY AND OPT REMINDERS
If this is your last semester of study, now is a good time to start thinking about if you would like to apply for OPT. If you plan to file for Optional Practical Training (OPT), you can begin to apply 90 days before your program end date, and up to 60 days after your program ends (this means that the application must be received by USCIS by the 60th day). We recommend that you apply early and we are recommending filing electronically with USCIS (please note you cannot file with USCIS until you have received your OPT requested I-20 from OIS).
For more information on applying for OPT, please visit the OIS website OPT Section.
Reminder: Check the Program End Date listed on your I-20! If it is not accurate, contact OIS immediately.
