Do I qualify as a resident alien or non-resident alien for federal tax purposes?
The CINTAX program will ask you a series of questions based on the substantial presence test to determine your residence status for federal tax filing purposes. If you qualify as a non-resident alien for tax purposes, you can use the CINTAX program to assist you with tax filing. If you qualify as a resident alien for tax purposes, you cannot use CINTAX but you can file taxes with a tax preparation company such as H&R Block. Tax treaties do not apply to individuals who qualify as resident aliens for tax purposes. Resident aliens file taxes in the same manner as U.S. citizens.
