Frequently Asked Questions 

Sprintax does not allow me to proceed due to the residency status. How can I solve it?

This indicates that you are classified as a tax resident. As Sprintax supports only non-resident for tax purposes, please consider using other tax software for residents or consult from the IRS.

What is 1098-T form?

1098-T is applicable only to tax residents. If you are a tax non-resident, please disregard it.

What documents do I need to prepare for filing taxes?

Please take a quiz to determine the documents needed based on your circumstances.

How to get the discount code for Sprintax?

It will be sent to your USF email.

As a non-resident for tax purposes, I used TurboTax (or another tax filing software) instead of Sprintax for filing taxes, how can I resolve this?

Sprintax Return Form is designed for tax non-residents. Therefore, you will need to file an amendment. Request the appropriate form from TurboTax (or another tax filing software) and use it to amend your taxes with Sprintax Form.
