State of California Taxes

OIS offers free State of California workshops to assist you with filling out your CA tax form (540NR) and state tax booklets are available at the OIS front desk. Please bring your completed 1040NR from CINTAX and any W-2’s received to the sessions below.

Other States

If you need to file income tax returns for states other than California, more information is available here.

You can also purchase tax software such as TurboTax or TaxCut but please remember that non-nationals CANNOT E-file their returns but must print hard copies to sign and mail. These software bundles will not be able to assist you with filing of your federal return so please use CINTAX to file federal taxes.
