Sprintax for 2023 tax year is available NOW!

Sprintax is a tax return preparation software program designed primarily for Nonresident Alien students, scholars, trainees, researchers and other educational immigration statuses to prepare a U.S federal and state income tax return and all other necessary statements. It is intended exclusively for your individual use. You are not required to use Sprintax to prepare your U.S. Federal and state income tax return.
