State tax filing

It depends.  You would  file a 1040 NR tax return with Sprint Tax.  As a j-1 exempt student, you would not be required to pay FICA taxes but still be responsible for paying federal income taxes, usually at 30%. In addition, you will need to file a 8833 with your return to claim the exemption from FICA taxes. You will need to do this in 2025 also to claim the exemption from FICA taxes.

 

As far as the special-purpose code, i am not aware of that but contact Sprint Tax for more information.
