Taxes
All J-1 Exchange Visitors must report information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) while in the U.S. Depending on your sources of funding and employment in the U.S., you may need to apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), in order to report information to the IRS.
Please click here to determine whether you are required to apply for a SSN or an ITIN, based on your sources of funding while in the U.S.
IIE recommends that you apply for an SSN or ITIN as soon as possible—but only after you have officially reported your arrival in the U.S.; see Arrival.
IIE’s GRANTAX tax-management service will file your U.S. tax return on your behalf, free of charge. You are strongly urged to use this service, whether you owe taxes or not. If you receive funding through IIE, you are required to use the GRANTAX service.
