Facts about USA 

US Tax Returns ...


Important Tax Forms Information.

 

 

All Form 1040 series are due on April 15th.



Who needs to file a US tax return?


If you live in U.S. or were present in the U.S. with a F or J non-immigrant status (even 1 day), you are responsible for meeting regulations established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). For more detailed information, please refer to Publication 519: U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens 




The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the United States federal government agency that collects taxes and enforces the internal revenue laws. It is an agency within the U.S. Department of the Treasury and is responsible for interpretation and application of Federal tax law.


What documents do I need to file my tax return?


You should have all the following documents:
