F1 students are not generally required to provide their travel history during tax filing. However, they do need to file taxes if they were in the U.S. during the previous calendar year and earned income. Here's what they need:
- Form 1040-NR: Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return.
- Form 8843: Statement for Exempt Individuals.
- W-2: Wage and Tax Statement if they earned income.
- 1099 Forms: For any other income received.
F1 students can use Sprintax to file their taxes, which is specifically designed for international students and scholars
