IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR CINTAX USERS!
Nonresident aliens must mail in the Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ. After
completing CINTAX, you must print, sign, and mail the tax return. Keep a
copy of the tax return. The copy of your tax return is second in importance
only to your passport and immigration documents.
CINTAX deletes all tax records on June 16, (or earlier if so requested) so
the you MUST keep a copy of the tax return for at least three calendar years
following the date filed (four calendar years in total).
