All nonresident aliens for tax purposes, including F-2 and J-2 visa holders, are required to file Form 8843 even if you had no income from the U.S. in 2020. You do not need to have a Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to submit Form 8843.
If you are determined a resident alien, you should NOT use GTP to prepare your tax forms. You may use commercially purchased tax return software to file your state and federal income tax. You may also visit the IRS website to find free tax return preparation by Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and .
Filing incorrect forms can result in a $100.00 fine plus interest. IRS is gearing up to crack down on the incorrect filing. Beware! The Government can audit the tax return for up to 7 years. You should keep the copy of your tax filing information for at least 7 years.

IMPORTANT
The deadline for filing tax return is April 15, 2021.
ALWAYS KEEP A COPY OF THE RETURN FOR YOUR RECORDS. You will need this information when you file your tax next year. Also, if the government has any question about your return, it is always good to have a copy. It costs you money if you request a copy of the return from the government.
