CINTAX stands for Complete International Tax Preparation. It is a secure web-based tax preparation system designed to aid foreign students, scholars and visitors in preparing U. S. federal income tax forms 1040NR & 1040NR-EZ.

CINTAX is the online software system formerly known as NRAware!

Towson University offers FREE use of the software CINTAX to nonresident aliens associated with the university who need to file yearly federal tax documents.

CINTAX is easy to use and generates the appropriate federal tax documents for each NRA.

To get started:

• Obtain a password from the NRA Tax Office.
• Collect all yearend statements and last year's tax return (if any).
• Have your immigration documents available for reference.

When finished with completing tax information:

• Print all forms.
• Sign the tax return.
• Attach copies of required yearend tax statements.
• Write a check for any tax due.

Mail to the address specified.

Nonresident aliens cannot electronically file (e-file) the federal tax return. It must be sent via mail.

ITIN Note: If you or a dependent are applying for an ITIN along with your tax return, you will send your tax package to a different address. Your ITIN application will be processed first. Then your assigned ITIN and tax return will be forwarded on to the IRS unit that reviews NRA tax returns.
