If you had no taxable income during calendar year 2023, you will be considered an Exempt Individual and you need to file only Form 8843. Please go to our website if you would like instructions on how to complete Form 8843. Here are instructions and a sample of a completed Form 8843. In the ITC, we have a box with blank Form 8843, instruction sheets, pens, and pre-addressed envelopes – come to the ITC and do the whole thing in one sitting if you’d like.
