Does an international student in an F-1/J-1 immigration status have to file any forms with the U.S. government?
Yes. All international students classified as nonresident aliens for tax purposes must file Form 8843 every year, whether or not they were employed or received taxable payments in the U.S. during the reporting year. In addition, dependents in F-2 and J-2 status must also complete and file Form 8843.
