BelknapPoint I never even thought about IRS income tax liability for an international student. Are you saying they would need to file a U.S. tax return?

Ok, I should have said “maybe.” The question of whether or not an international student must file a return and pay taxes on U.S. source income gets complicated very quickly. Short, lawyer-type answer: it depends.
