ISSS has purchased a license agreement for the Sprintax tax software to assist you and your dependents prepare nonresident alien U.S. tax returns. Sprintax is available for UT international students and scholars, as well as their dependents.
Please make sure you have all your income documents before starting Sprintax to avoid filing your taxes incorrectly.

Texas Global at UT Austin is an IRS VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) site that offers free tax assistance to nonresident aliens who need help to prepare their own tax return.
Our tax advising is focused on providing assistance in understanding filing instructions, how to navigate Sprintax, and general questions regarding nonresident taxes. Any specific tax situations that cannot be addressed by our volunteers will need to be discussed with a licensed professional tax advisor.
All volunteers have completed training through the IRS VITA program and as such are protected from liability under the Volunteer Protection Act. The taxpayer is ultimately responsible for the information on their tax returns.
Texas Global staff members who have been trained to serve as IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) volunteers provide assistance during the tax season. Staff can review the tax forms that you have already completed or answer questions that prevent you from completing your tax return.
This tax season we are holding virtual drop-in sessions every Thursday 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm starting on March 9 through Apr. 13. One special additional drop in session will be held on Apr. 12. No appointment needed. You can also email us at intltax@austin.utexas.edu for assistance.
If you need help while using Sprintax, you can contact their support team using the options below:
Texas Global and Volunteer Tax assistance are unable to assist with Amended Taxes and have limited support for Prior Year Tax Returns.
Nonresident aliens for tax purposes who have failed to file a prior year tax return may have options on Sprintax. You will be able to access blank tax forms to fill out on your own or purchase access to Sprintax or GLACIER Tax Prep prior year software to help fill out the forms.
For amended taxes, contact intltax@austin.utexas.edu for suggestions on resources to assist you.
For additional questions, please contact intltax@austin.utexas.edu. Keep in mind that it may take 24 to 72 hours to get a response during the busy tax season.
