Hello Everyone,
I did go across lot of threads and it helped me. But I hope I can get answers to my queries.

I was on F1- status throughout last year. However I was paid on 1099-misc and w-2 by two employers.

My Questions
1) Do I need to attach 1099-misc or is the employer tax id enough? I was told by my employer just to put his TaxID no. in the form. I don't have 1099 in hand.
2) I am bit confused as to which form I need to fill 1040nr or 1040nr-ez. How do I add the income from 1099 to the income from w-2 on the respective forms?
3) Do I need to fill Schedule C or Schedule C-Ez if I was not claiming any itemized deductions?
4) My social security and medicare was withheld and the employer already paid IRS so I was told to get it from them. From one of the posts I figured out I need to fill out a) form 843 b) form 8316 c) send in my EAD, I-20, I-94, d) Write a statement that I couldn't get the refund from my employer.
Is all this enough.

Thank you all, and especially AtlantaExpert, who has been answering lot of questions in depth.

One other question that I had was, since I didn't pay taxes on 1099(which I am told I should have done quarterly) do I need to fill Form 2210? Thanks

Floridaguy:

1) Do not attach the Form 1099-MISC. Just make sure the amount you enter on Schedule C/C-EZ as income matches the Form 1099-MISC.

2) You need to file Form 1040NR. You cannot account for Form 1099-MISC income without the Schedule C/C-EZ, and that mandates the use of Form 1040NR.

3) Yes, the Schedule C/C-EZ is required. The deductions claimed on this schedule are not itemized deductions. They are deductions for expenses incurred while earning that Form 1099-MISC income.

4) Ask your employer to provide the statement and specify how much Social Security and Medicare taxes were withheld incorrectly. That's the best way to go.

Thanks Atlanta Tax Expert.
One question on Schedule C/C-ez, I don't need to fill out Line C/D/E about Business name, Employer ID an Business address right? I was just an independent contractor for a local firm?

You do not need to enter the Employer ID number unless you have employees.

You do need to put a business name and address. If you do not have a separate business name, put your own name and address.
