For most students/scholars, in your first year, you will need to access SPRINTAX at least two times. The first time is to create your record in SPRINTAX and to prepare all the forms necessary to take advantage of a tax treaty. The second time you will need to access SPRINTAX is to ‘renew’ your tax treaty. The forms produced by SPRINTAX are only valid for one year, thus, they need to be completed each year.
You may also access SPRINTAX at any time to update your information – for instance, if your Visa status changes, if your address in the US changes, if your anticipated departure date changes. It’s a good idea to review all the information in SPRINTAX when you are doing your tax treaty renewal each year.
You will also want to access SPRINTAX one last time – when you leave OSU. Just indicate that you are receiving no payments of any kind and submit the record. This will stop reminder emails to you when it is no longer necessary for you to have a record in SPRINTAX .
How often do I have to access SPRINTAX?
