CINTAX Software
Thank you for visiting this page. This year we are providing CINTAX as a tool to help you fulfill your tax obligations for the previous year. CINTAX is a software application that can help international taxpayers to file their US tax forms. It is available to all IUB students, scholars, and their dependents.
Please notice that if your finances are complicated—for example if you have investments or real estate—CINTAX may not work for you. If students have been in the United States for more than five years, CINTAX will not be able to help you and tax rules may require you to file taxes as a US citizen. However, you may be able to use other software designed for US citizens. The Internal Revenue Service provides a listing of online resources for filing your taxes; many are free.
To access the CINTAX software, please log in to iStart. In order to access the program, you must have an IU username and password. You will be required to log in with your Indiana University network user name and then create a password of your own.
Documentation necessary to use CINTAX:
- Current Immigration Status (see Form I-94—the white/green card in Passport)
- US Entry and Exit Dates (see Form I-94 and Passport)
