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 2023. 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. If you are a nonresident with no U.S. income during 2023 and only need to file Form 8843, please download the 8843 form from the IRS website.
