CINTAX Tax Software

Nonresident aliens for tax purposes MUST complete their Federal Form 1040NR-EZ or Form 1040NR using the CINTAX software and bring the COMPLETED return with them to the tax help sessions! Dependents of J and F visa holders must also use CINTAX to complete Form 8843. We will not review Form 8843 in the tax sessions. Assistance will only be provided for the state return

GA Form 500

Please note that the format of the GA Form 500 has changed for tax year 2007, so please make arrangements to attend the workshops in order to ensure that you complete your GA return correctly!

Assistance will only be provided for the state return GA Form 500 during the tax help sessions, and only for those who have a completed Form 1040NR-EZ. You must have your completed federal return in order to complete the state return. Additional information will be provided to those with Form 1040NR.

For those planning to attend one of the Tax Help Workshops, the following information will be useful for you:

If you are receiving a stipend or paycheck from Emory, you should have received Form W-2 and/or 1042S by now. For information about your W-2, contact the Payroll Office at 404-727-6100. Forms 1042S were mailed February 8th. If you do not receive your Form 1042S by February 22nd, or if you have questions regarding your form 1042S, call the Controller's Office at 7-6080. There will be duplicate copies of Forms 1042S in the Controller's Office. We will NOT provide duplicates at the workshop, so make sure you obtain your copy before you attend the session.

When you come to the session, make sure that you bring the following documents with you:

Completed Form 1040NR-EZ or 1040NR and Form 8843(if applicable)
Passport
Visa
DS-2019 or I-20
Statements of Earnings, such as W-2, 1042S, 1099, etc.
Last year's tax return, if applicable
Social Security card

At the workshop, you will receive a packet containing these forms (so you do not have to bring them):

GA Form 500
Form 8843
Publications 519 and 901
Instructions for all forms

Once again, we will only provide assistance with GA Form 500 in the tax help sessions! We will provide additional information at the help sessions for individuals with Form 1040NR to complete the GA Form 500.
