Filing as a non-resident alien
Regardless of your citizenship, we can get you filed!
Taxfyle is equipped to assist individuals regardless of their citizenship, including non-residents! To ensure that your tax return is handled appropriately, Taxfyle has an onboarding question specifically addressing non-U.S. residents who earned income in the U.S.
A non-resident alien is defined by the IRS as:
"Any individual who is not a U.S. citizen or U.S. national. A nonresident alien is an alien who has not passed the green card test or the substantial presence test. If you are a nonresident alien at the end of the tax year, and your spouse is a resident alien, your spouse can choose to treat you as a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes and file Form 1040 using the filing status “Married Filing Jointly.”
When filling out the onboarding questionnaire, you can indicate that you are a "non-resident" who earned income in the U.S. (which will trigger the requirement for you to file a Form 1040NR versus the standard Form 1040 for U.S. citizens). This information will help Taxfyle match you with a knowledgeable Tax Pro who has experience preparing non-resident tax returns so you're set up for success.
Pro Tip: Please note that if you need to file as a non-resident but don't have a SSN, ITIN, or Visa, you'll need to apply for an ITIN to be in compliance to file a U.S. tax return. Review this article for more ITIN details if necessary.
