CINTAX, International Tax Preparation Software

If you were present in the United States during any part of 2006,
there is at least one tax form you must complete. Tax forms are due
to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by April 16, 2007. If you were
not in the United States at all during 2006, you do not need to
complete any tax forms at this time.

Most international scholars at Harvard are on J-1 visas and are
considered non-residents for tax purposes. If you have dependents
accompanying you on J-2 visas, they also need to complete at least
one tax form. To help guide you through the tax filing process, the
HIO has purchased, for your use, CINTAX, a web based tax return
preparation software designed exclusively for international students,
scholars, and their dependents who are nonresidents for tax purposes.
CINTAX does not provide assistance with state tax returns. There is
information on the HIO web site regarding state tax returns at http:/
/www.hio.harvard.edu/students_scholars/massstatetax.php

What Does CINTAX Do?

" It determines which forms you must file and completes those forms
for you to print out and submit to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service
Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255).
" If you are a non-resident for tax purposes, it helps you prepare
your U.S. federal income tax forms free of charge.

What Documents Do You Need When Using CINTAX?
" Your passport
" Your visa document (Form DS-2019)
" Your W-2 Form(s), 1099 Form(s), or 1042-S Form(s) you have received
from any U.S. based income or scholarship sources*
" Your Social Security Number or ITIN

*If you were employed by or have received fellowship income from
Harvard during 2006 you will need a wage and tax reporting document
in order to file your U.S. tax return. Employees will receive W-2
forms, which will be mailed to them by 1/31/07. Fellowship
recipients will receive 1042-S forms, which will be mailed to them by
3/15/07. Some individuals may receive both forms as they may have
received more than one type of funding from the University.

You may also hold visas other than J-1, such as H-1B, O-1, TN, or F-1

purposes. Please note that CINTAX can only help prepare non-resident
tax forms. Please see our web site (www.hio.harvard.edu) for the
differences between resident and non-resident taxes and for
