*Other Providers estimated pricing based on standard public rates. "Print & Mail" excluded from comparison as competitors typically require you to mail it yourself.
Your Situation
As an F-1 student in your first 5 years, you shouldn't be paying these. We'll file Form 843 to get that money back for you!
Transparent pricing: Forms like 8843, W-7, and 843 cannot be e-filed—they must be printed & mailed to the IRS. The IRS requires each form to be mailed separately, so we must charge $9.99 per form. Mailing costs us $5.30 + $4.00 for printing & packaging = $9.30 per form—essentially zero profit. Your choice: we can mail it, or you can!
Very rare: Only if you've never worked in the US, had no stipend, and only have scholarship income (no SSN). Even students without income typically don't need this—most students have an SSN. This is an exceptionally uncommon situation.
