What’s the deadline for international students to file taxes?

 The tax filing deadline for international students (typically on F-1, J-1 visas) depends on whether they had U.S. income during the prior calendar year:

---

📌 If You Had U.S. Income (e.g., job on CPT/OPT):

• 🗓 Deadline: April 15, or the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday

• 📄 You must file:

  • Form 1040-NR (or Form 1040 if you’re a resident alien)

  • Form 8843

  • Any state tax returns required

---

📌 If You Had No U.S. Income:

• 🗓 Deadline: June 15

• 📄 You still must file Form 8843 to maintain compliance with your visa.
