Any Foreign National who received a W-2 and/or a 1042-S is required to file a Federal and State tax return (regardless of any Tax Treaties). Note that international employees may receive a 1042S instead of/in addition to a W-2.
If you need a copy of your 1042s PAYROLL or if you are receiving a 1042S from BOTH PAYROLL AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, your 1042S form is available through FNIS. Log into FNIS, the secure Foreign National Information System website at:https://fnis.thomsonreuters.com/tufts

Please note that Tufts cannot provide advice or assistance in completing tax forms. The International Center has tax prep software to assist you filing your tax return with the Federal and State Governments. Additional information about the web based software (Sprintax) is located on the International Center website https://global.tufts.edu/international-center/taxes-and-social-security/tax-preparation-and-assistancesprintax. The International Center will email you an Access Code by early March. The International Center and Tufts Support Services are not in a position to offer tax advice. If you have specific tax questions or concerns, you will need to contact a tax professional (either a Certified Public Accountant or Tax Attorney). Other tools to assist you in filing your taxes are the Internal Revenue Service website (www.irs.gov) and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue website (www.mass.gov/dor).
