Easy, straightforward
Extremely easy, convenient and straightforward for nonresidents. I have used multiple tax softwares but Sprintax has been the best and never disappointed.
2nd time with Sprintax, 100% recommend!
2nd time processing my J-1 taxes and their service never failed me (got my last year’s refund already, now waiting for this year). Even their post-payment is amazing! Valentin helped me with all my questions and answered them in detail. Five-star service! This might be my last filing with them since I left USA already but 100% would recommend their services to any J-1 interns like me who want to file smoothly AND maximize their tax refund!

Recommend to all international students!
I only write review when i feel good (or bad sometimes). but the user interface of Sprintax is very friendly and it makes my returning-tax experience simple and fast. The instruction is easy to follow, and the live chat I had at 9 pm with Ivelin Danev was extremely helpful and trustworthy. Thank you for providing the service.

Made doing my taxes for the first time as an overseas alien very easy.

Sprintax makes it easy for me to file…
Sprintax makes it easy for me to file and report my tax. For my some-periods of stay in the U.S., this platform provided me not only convenience and a user-friendly interface but also a brief knowledge of the tax system itself. What I like the most are the e-Form filing and the post-submit troubleshooting service. Overall, a great experience deserving 5 stars! Thank you.
You must use Sprintax!
Great, kind, and knowledgeable chat assistants! Even the AI chatbot gives very useful guide and tips. Sprintax is super intuitive to use—it’s an absolute time saver!
Hard tax return case fully supported
I had a case of partial fund allocation and my employer's accounting firm wrongly deducted an additional half of my taxes. Since then it's been a 2-year long journey combatting with the state tax board and IRS to get my money back and with lawyer support it'd cost me a fortune. Thankfully, I purchased Sprintax support to assist with disputing the case. And though it did require constantly asking for status updates, and estimates, and signing a bunch of papers to get support but in the end it WORKED! I did get my money back, and very very happy about it! Thank you Sprintax! The only wish/recommendation I have is more proactively keeping in touch with clients during these hard cases.
Five Star tax service!
Sprintax was the reason why I accomplished my taxes smoothly and got a refund more than the amount I expected! Great overall service. Joanna and Grace answered all my tax concerns too!
Sprintax: Fast, Neat and Great!
This is the second time I am filing my tax return and I can see that Sprintax has displayed a whole array of mechanisms and systems in place to help me go through the different steps to complete my tax return. Initially, I did not believe I could ever finish this in one day! I think they are extremely professional.
Easy for first timers
First time filing taxes as an international student. Very straightforward and simple process.
Very positive experience!
I’m a rising senior and used Sprintax to file my Federal and State taxes in the US, and had a great experience both times. Sprintax made my life much easier, because it allowed me to file these complicated forms with ease! I definitely recommend it to every International student in the United States.
First experience
As an International Visitor in my first experience, it was easy to understand and answer all the questions. Thanks for the support and instructions.
A fluid experience
A fluid experience. I am relatively new to the tax filing system in the USA, however, I was able to file my taxes with a few instructional videos, articles provided from my school, and the FAQ section. Would strongly recommend fellow international students to use to file their taxes.

Nice and easy.
This year was the second time I used Sprintax. I am kind of new to tax filing, but Springtax made things easy for me. I was able to do everything by using instructional videos, emails from my college, and the FAQ. I strongly recommend international students use Springtax.
