FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
CINTAX Tax Preparation Software is now available through a generous
donation by the Kailath international Students Fund! This is an
Internet-based tax return preparation system that will help F or J visa
holders prepare their 2006 U.S. federal tax forms. After going through
CINTAX, the program will prepare the appropriate tax forms for you to
print out and an instruction sheet that will tell you where to send the
forms. This software can be used by your F-2 or J-2 dependents as well.
Remember that ALL F and J holders MUST file U.S. tax forms whether or
not they received income in 2006.
Students must have an MIT site certificate and a personal certificate
to access CINTAX, which can be found at the following URL:
