What Help is Available?
Software Help – The
UCIE office has purchased the use of
CINTAX, a web-based tax program. This software will enable you to
use any computer that has web access to start or modify your personal
tax return - this means you are no longer limited to one lab and certain
times of the day to modify or correct your own personal return. The
procedure for obtaining the CINTAX passwords will be announced in the
UCIE weekly email newsletter. Passwords WILL BE available the UCIE
office. In order to use CINTAX you will need:
-
Passport
and Visa
-
I-20
or DS-2019 (if F-1/J-1)
-
I-94
Card
-
I-797
Approval Notice (if on H-1B status)
-
Form
W-2 (if you worked and were paid at any time during 2002)
-
Form
1042S (if you received a nonqualified scholarship or tax treaty benefit
during 2002). Those of you receiving WSU tuition waivers only will not
receive a 1042S. Some of you may receive two different 1042S's. Bring
all that are issued to you.
-
Any
Form 1099's you may have received (see below for details)
-
WSU
ID (student or staff)
-
Check
book (for paying taxes or providing refund information)
-
The
name and office telephone number of your academic advisor, graduate
program director, or department head.
-
You
will also need a CINTAX password.
Please remember that
even though CINTAX is a web-based program, it is not "E-filing".
"E-filing" is a web-based method that US Citizens and Resident Aliens
can use to file their Federal Income Tax Returns. E-filing IS NOT
AVAILABLE for Non-Resident Aliens.
After completing
your tax return using NRA-Ware you must print your documents, sign them
and mail them to the IRS address supplied with the CINTAX program.
