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!

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.

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!
