About Form 8843

All nonresident students, scholars and their dependents in F-1, F-2, J-1 or J-2 status must file Form 8843 "Statement for Exempt Individuals and Individuals with a Medical Condition". This form must be filed even if no income was earned in 2024. Form 8843 is not an income tax return, but rather, an informational statement required by the U.S. government. If you used SPRINTAX-RETURNS to prepare your Non-Resident Federal Income Tax Return, form 8843 is included in your SPRINTAX-RETURNS tax return .PDF printouts. 

Please note: If you are a nonresident for tax purposes with no U.S. income during 2024, you only need to file Form 8843, which you can download directly from the IRS website.
