Wait to File Your Taxes!
We'll email you about tax requirements and how to file after Cornell has mailed all tax documents to the international community and our free tax software, Sprintax, is updated for the year. This typically happens in mid-March. If you received any U.S. income in 2024, you will need to file some U.S. tax forms by the April 15 filing deadline.
