Once a student purchases a code through the event ticketing website, they will receive an email from the International Affairs staff with the Sprintax Code & Instructions. Students should expect to receive the code within 1-2 business days of the purchase.

Due to the complexities of U.S. tax law and legal restrictions, university staff are neither qualified nor permitted to advise on taxes. To learn more about Sprintax and tax filing, please visit our website for available resources.
