Sprintax Calculus Support

What is Sprintax Calculus?

Sprintax Calculus is an online platform designed to help international students and nonresidents determine their tax residency status, calculate tax withholding, and understand their tax obligations before filing. It provides essential tools for accurate tax calculations, especially if you have complex income or visa situations.

Sprintax Calculus vs. Sprintax Forms

While Sprintax Calculus focuses on helping you understand tax residency and pre-filing calculations, Sprintax Forms is used to actually prepare and file your U.S. tax return with the IRS. In short:

  • Sprintax Calculus: Determines residency status and tax withholding.
  • Sprintax Forms: Completes and submits your U.S. tax return.
